Supporting young people is field work carried out by the Chamber of Trades and Crafts of Seine-et-Marne. Its president, Thierry Fromentin, comments: “We have three training centers spread across the country, where we receive two thousand one hundred and fifty apprentices. We need agents and teachers serving the craft cause. »
This is also the mission of the Chamber of Commerce and Industry (CCI) of Seine-et-Marne. For his vice-president, Dominique Mocquax: “The objective is to fight against school dropouts, to take young people up to bac+2 or even 5, to make them want to continue. Work-study training is an important tool, because it allows young people to have a job allowing them a certain financial autonomy. Our role is to create training that meets the expectations of companies. » Close collaboration is in place with the Gustave-Eiffel University, or the University of Paris-Est Créteil Val de Marne (UPEC). The CCI supported 1,768 young people from 2019 to 2023, as part of the State’s Skills Investment Plan. Its second axis is the promotion of entrepreneurship in priority districts of the city: “I am convinced of the energy that there is in these neighborhoods to boost the economy. »
