Challenge
Priority education students, like all young people their age, are concerned by the issues of climate crisis and ecological transition, encountered in the course of their schooling and daily lives. Nevertheless, the ecological issues faced by these young people in working-class neighborhoods (access to healthy food, the fight against concrete encroachment, beautification and greening of neighborhoods, access to renovated, energy-efficient housing, etc.) are still barely audible in "mainstream" discourse on ecology.
In addition, the ecological transition is transforming today's professions in a lasting way, and will invent many of tomorrow's professions. This upheaval in the world of work must not be to the detriment of the working classes, but with them.
Solution
VVMT is convinced that the 3rd grade internship, which allows for a week of complete immersion in contact with everyday players in the ecological transition, is a powerful tool for transforming the world.
Thanks to the proposal of 200 "green" internships, the association will be able to raise awareness among middle-school students from working-class backgrounds of the challenges of the ecological transition via the completion of an impactful third grade internship with professionals who can open their eyes to their profession.
Recent result
Already 8,000 internships have been completed by 3rd graders thanks to the association since its creation in 2015.
The money will be used for
The money raised will be used to recruit teams to accompany students in colleges, and canvass companies to encourage them to offer quality internships.
Goal
The goal for this program is to find 200 green internships for students, then have 80% of students revise their academic ambition upwards after the internship. In 20% of cases, the internship should enable students to discover their professional vocation after the internship.

The network of young people without a network
ViensVoirMonTaf, helps 3rd graders from REP (Réseau d'Education Prioritaire/ex-Zep) middle schools to find the internship of their dreams.
The association brings together 3rd graders "without a network" and caring professionals ready to welcome them for 5 days on an internship.
The 3rd grade internship is a key moment in young people's educational careers, a unique opportunity to turn their career around.
The 3rd grade internship is also an effective tool in the fight against dropping out of school, by enabling students who are far removed from the school system to have direct contact with the corporate world.
VVMT provides students with a platform, from its website www.viensvoirmontaf.fr, on which multiple internship offers are made available. In addition to this digital matchmaking service, VVMT also provides coaching workshops directly in middle schools.

It's back-to-school time, and just as well, "school" rhymes with "ecosol": ViensVoirMonTaf is embarking on a new year of intense activity to accompany middle-schoolers from REP and REP+ towards their dream internship.
Since our last news, the association has received new donations from its Captains, i.e. almost €160 more.
Eight Captains are joining the adventure, whose objective, we remind you, is to take students towards an ideal 3rd grade internship, chosen, and within the precise framework of this project, ecological and supportive.
Welcome (and thank you) to them, the adventure continues!!

"Have you ever heard of Sustainable Development? What is it?"
This is one of the first questions asked during our Ecosol workshops, aimed at 4th graders.
Since January 2023, ViensVoirMonTaf has raised €2,737 thanks to donations from Captain Cause for its Viens Voir Mon Taf ecological and solidarity project. Selected 19 times by companies confident in its project, the association has been able to count on donations from 59 Captains, i.e. 59 employees or customers of these companies, who have chosen to support it.
The ecosol project involves 200 "green" internships for 3rd graders from REP and REP+ countries. It's an opportunity for these young people to discover the jobs involved in the ecological transition, which are still too little known. After the workshops in 4th grade, the 3rd graders discover jobs in education and training, access to healthcare, building and sustainable infrastructure, economic and social responsibility, agriculture, the environment and living things, and justice and human rights.
"During my internship, I was able to learn more about associative values, and discover all the social projects that MSERA is developing. I was impressed by the many meetings because they showed their commitment and they were sometimes fun"
-Ethel, on an internship with the association Moderniser Sans Exclure in Lyon
The money raised enables us to better support students, by recruiting teams to support students in middle schools and to canvass companies likely to offer quality internships.
A big thank you to the 8 Captains from ENGIE, 13 Captains from D&Consultants, the 2 from Vinci Facilities GPM, Xavier Castex Assurance, the 15 from Elaia, the 3 from warmango, the one from Respup, the 6 from EIRL Alexis CASTRO, and the 8 from VINCI Construction France, for their invaluable donations.

ViensVoirMonTaf introduces REP and REP+ secondary school students to careers in the fields of ecology and solidarity, to raise their awareness of the issues involved and open doors for them in these fields.Ecosol workshops for 4th graders in three middle schools in the Paris region
We're planning to roll out ecosol workshops to 4th graders in three collèges (one in Argenteuil, one in Trapes and one in Paris). The project is still in the preparation phase, and the workshops will only take place at the end of the school year.
The aim of the Ecosol project is to raise young people's awareness of the challenges of sustainable development, while at the same time introducing them to a range of careers in the environmental and solidarity sectors. The diversity of sustainable development professions is still little known among young people, hence the interest in devoting a time of exchange around the discovery of these professions and their accessibility. The aim is to start by talking about commitment, then orientation, in anticipation of their 3rd grade internship, and in a broader sense, their future career.
