In Landerneau, Pôle emploi relies on candidates' know-how<

The working conditions here are pleasant. It's reassuring compared to my experiences in the food industry , says Yuna. The 24-year-old Landernéenne came, with four other young people, to visit the Lessonia company, in Saint-Thonan (Finistère), on the occasion of the Youth Assets scheme. This system is intended for young job seekers, in intensive support for young people (AIJ), for six or three months, supported by Pôle emploi.

This meeting between employers and young job seekers is the second in Finistère since the launch of Atouts jeunes in 2019. A service that allows young people to work on the professional skills necessary for the jobs they wish to exercise. . We are working on the keys to facilitate their recruitment, ” notes Anne Bruyaux, director of Pôle emploi Landerneau.

Knowledge is more important than skills

Six out of ten employers believe that soft skills are more important than skills. An observation to take into account in these times of labor shortage in companies.

It is precisely this lack of candidates that prompted Lessonia to accept this meeting. Immersion in business is a gateway to attracting candidates.

Participatory support

On a voluntary basis, five young people under the age of 26 took part in the programme. Two days to discover the company, professional knowledge, learn and constantly adapt to the company. In the form of workshops, simulations of interviews in pairs and a day in a company, to use the appropriate professional skills , explains Gwénola OQ, AIJ adviser at Pôle emploi.

Concrete and practical, this program encourages recruitment. It's participatory. It's more playful, thus, more digestible , notes Yuna, a graduate in the wood trades. She would like to work in agriculture, in livestock farming, a sector discovered during Agriculture Week, offered by Pôle emploi .

By relying on the dynamics of the group, the young people develop their assets, broaden their professional targets and better understand the labor market. A changing market.

Employers pay attention to autonomy, reactivity, perseverance, adaptation and curiosity. The sense of communication and the ability to federate are essential”, underlines the director of Pôle emploi Landerneau.

Curious to discover

Young people say they enjoyed the day. If they are surprised by the variety of professions , they also see the possibility offered to evolve there .

Mégane, a graduate of a Bac pro trades in fashion, says she can project herself here, while waiting to find a job in sewing . Brice, resident of Ploudaniel, holder of a BTS Design and realization of automatic systems (CRSA) recognizes that “there are modern machines and robotics . He is satisfied to have obtained an interview for a position of maintenance technician or automation engineer. At 20, with no experience, I couldn't find anything .

Laure, 24, BTS in cosmetics and chemistry license in her pocket, would like to be a cosmetics formulator. Like Mégane, she was seduced by the stripping of the leaves and the drying, a discovery . Amandine, after a career as a hairdresser and dental assistant, is looking for an internship in accounting or management. A shift to discover other professions”.
