CEO Duo for a Job

Immigrant youth often have a hard time finding a job. Especially in big cities, youth unemployment remains high, and this has hardly changed over the past decade. Young people from the European Union are hit hardest. That is why we came up with the idea of putting young people who are looking for a job in contact with volunteers, people over 50, to guide them for six months in their search for a job. A method that is paying off, since our young people are 30% more likely to find a job thanks to their mentor.
