Objectives

The needs of this group of dropouts can be broken down as follows - a need to work on their professional project in order to find their way back, by experimenting with new professional and personal horizons - the acquisition of cross-cutting, technical and linguistic skills that may have been lacking in order to be selected for the targeted courses. - personal development: dropping out may be linked to a lack of personal motivation and self-confidence, which must be restored in order to continue.. The main objective of this project is to offer a support programme to facilitate the return to training leading to a qualification or entry into the labour market, via European mobility. It includes orientation and preparation before mobility, a long immersion in a company and recognition of prior learning. The aims of the project are twofold: - To strengthen the assets of the public so that they optimise their transversal skills. - To make this "latency" or transition year useful, between leaving the school system and a possible return to training the following year.

Background

Located on the island of Reunion, we wish to participate in the development dynamics of this Ultra Peripheral Region of Europe, 10,000 kms from the European continent. We work mainly with the Reunionese jobseeker public, with all the cultural, ethnic and social diversity that makes up Reunion's mixed society. The local unemployment rate is the highest in France, after Mayotte. The precarious situation of the island's job market makes mobility necessary. This project is specifically aimed at opening up Erasmus+ opportunities to an unsuccessful public, on the margins of other existing schemes. The lack of training opportunities on Reunion Island makes post-baccalaureate guidance particularly sensitive. Every year, hundreds of young Réunionese find themselves without a post-baccalaureate solution and have to wait for the next academic year to hope to continue their studies. By default, some of them go to university or start a higher education course that does not motivate them at all. Many drop out. However, Erasmus+ opportunities for young people who are not involved in an educational programme are limited.
