The Collectivity of Saint-Martin has decided to renew and extend by two months its “LEND A HAND” scheme intended for young people looking for a job.
The paid immersion phases in companies will now take place in July-August and November-December 2023, with funding from the European Social Fund (85%) and the Collectivity of Saint-Martin.
Thanks to the partnership set up with local businesses since 2009, the “LEND A HAND” operation enables many young people to find work during the months of July and August. It is a question of making them discover the realities of the world of work by giving them the knowledge necessary to build their professional project.
In recent years, the operation has met with great success with businesses and young people. The operation is piloted by the Department of Employment, Apprenticeship and Vocational Training (DEAFP), responsible for identifying young people, canvassing companies and putting them in contact, in partnership with the local mission of Saint-Martin and the Pôle Emploi.
After the interruption of 2020 due to the health situation and in view of the persistence of the difficulties encountered by certain young people in accessing employment, the Collectivity decided to relaunch the system in July and August and to plan a new period in November and December 2023. Concretely, the operation takes place in two phases:
• A training phase of 4 half-days (20 hours)
• An immersion phase where each young person provides a professional service of thirty-five hours per week for a renewable month (without interruption)
