Plan « Espoir Banlieues »

The Elior Group signs up to the French government’s “Espoir Banlieues” programme to promote employment opportunities for young people from underprivileged areas

    On 23 February 2010, the Elior Group signed up to the “Espoir Banlieues” programme launched by the French Ministry of the Economy, Industry and Employment in May 2008. 

Through this commitment, Elior has undertaken to hire 685 people aged under 26 who live in underprivileged urban areas, and to take on 450 interns and 300 young people on work-study schemes. 

In so doing, Elior – which has already recruited 461 under-26 year olds living in areas identified by the French government in 2008 as priority urban zones – is actively contributing towards the government’s policy of offering young people from these areas real opportunities to develop their skills and career prospects.
