To find a job, you sometimes need a helping hand, especially when youβre young and not familiar with labour market laws. Having a mentor allows you to take stock of your background, your desires, and to respond to job offers more effectively β¦ and it works!
WHAT IS A MENTOR?
At DUO for a JOB, a mentor is a volunteer
Every week, he or she advises you, answers your questions about your career path, your skills to be developed, while giving you the benefit of his or her experience.
This is a good way to project yourself objectively, to boost your ambition and self-confidence, and to expand your network.
GET YOUR DREAM JOB
Whatever your background, skills or career plans, DUO for a JOB will find the right mentor for you and help you land your dream job π
One year after the start of their duo, half of the young people have found a sustainable job (permanent or fixed-term contract of at least 3 months). If we add to this the young people who are heading for training or a professional internship, more than 70% of the participants find their way!

I love DUO. A team that is both professional and honest. I love the attitude and energy. It can simply make life better!
Yasser, 25 years old
DUO is just the programme I needed. It enabled me to go further in my search efforts towards employment. I gained experience. I regret that I did not hear about this programme much sooner but I am very proud of all I have learned from it
Francine, 30 years old
I have learned so much. Thanks to DUO, I have regained confidence in myself. I had run out of ideas. I was lost and now I have found myself

Have a parent or grandparent born outside the European Union
Have a valid residence permit in France (minimum 6 months)
Our mentoring programme is aimed at young people of foreign origin, i.e. all young people who have a foreign nationality from outside the European Union, but also all young people who are French but who have a parent or grandparent who was born outside the EU.
Why is this? It is well acknowledged that having a foreign origin is a barrier to accessing the labour market, so our action aims to restore equal opportunities for all.
Having a mentor by your side really increases your chances on the job market. 7 out of 10 young people find a job, an internship or a training course thanks to their duo!
After attending an information session, you will meet with a coordinator from Duo for a Job who will take the time to assess your background, your expectations and your personality. Following this interview, you will be matched by Duo for a Job with the mentor who best suits you! Depending on your availability, you will meet your mentor for the first time and if you want to continue the adventure together, you will start your duo!
These steps usually take between 15 days and 1 month.
Think again! 25% of the young people we mentor have a higher education degree. In the job search, a degree is not everything. Your mentor can help you to better understand the codes of the sector, share his or her experience with you, help you build a network, etc.
Of course! Each duo starts with an inventory to be made together: who you are, what you like to do, what your skills are, what your priorities are, etc. All this information will allow you to better define the path you want to take.
