Like many of us, I am well aware of the obstacles to employment facing young people in difficulty or from so-called "problem" neighborhoods. Our job at Bus Océane is transportation, but I believe we also have a social role to play. We have been working for several years with Emergence, which fosters socio-professional integration through sport in the neighborhoods served by our buses.
I very naturally agreed to sponsor its "Au Top Pour Un Job" module, which runs different workshops to help 18-24 year olds find their feet in the labor market. Some Bus Océane employees, including myself, participate as volunteers in the mock job interviews. We receive the trainees in our offices as if they were "real" candidates and in fact we have even hired some subsequently.
