What is the Youth Guarantee?

The Youth Guarantee is a program aimed at young people aged 16 to 25 in a situation of precariousness. Its main objective is to facilitate access to employment for young people who are neither in employment, nor in training, nor in study (NEET). Since March 1, 2022, the youth engagement contract (CEJ) has replaced the Youth Guarantee. This new contract aims to promote the social and professional integration of young people through various measures.

The beneficiaries of the Youth Guarantee benefit from intensive and collective support. They participate in activities that prepare them for employment, such as workshops, professional simulations, and company visits. This program is part of the labor law, thus ensuring a solid legal framework.

The financial aid offered by the Youth Guarantee is a key element of the program. It allows young people to focus on their path without worrying about financial problems. This aid is complemented by training, internships, and civic service missions. A brochure, a practical sheet, and an FAQ are available to provide all the necessary information.

What are the eligibility conditions?

To benefit from the Youth Guarantee, certain eligibility conditions must be met. The program is open to young people aged 16 to 25 who are in a situation of precariousness. They must be without employment, without training, and without studies (NEET). Additionally, young people must be registered with a local mission.

The youth engagement contract, which replaced the Youth Guarantee since March 2022, also targets people under 30 recognized as disabled. Beneficiaries must actively commit to their social and professional integration path. This commitment is formalized by a contract between the young person and the local mission.

The goal is to ensure sustainable integration into the labor market. Local missions play an essential role in this process by offering personalized support. They accompany young people throughout their journey, giving them access to internships, training, and civic service missions.

Finally, the program offers concrete opportunities for social and professional integration. Young people can participate in internships, training, and civic service missions. These experiences are essential to acquire the skills necessary for sustainable integration into the labor market. 🌟
