The 2023 School Year for Children, Families, and Students:
The City of Paris places a central focus on education in its actions and projects. This year, the start of the school year brings new initiatives and commitments, such as support for young children, cool and learning zones, collective projects in anticipation of the Olympics and Paralympics, and assistance for children with disabilities.
Combatting Student Precarity: Twelve associations subsidized by the City:
Paris welcomes nearly 390,000 students to its higher education institutions each year, with 200,000 residing in the capital and 60,000 receiving state scholarships. Since the health crisis, the City of Paris has developed policies to combat various forms of precarity, including food, menstrual, digital, access to healthcare, rights, and mental health. The rising cost of living has had a significant impact on student life. In 2023, the City of Paris launched a call for projects called “Student Food Assistance” to support solidarity actors in Paris who provide solutions for students experiencing food precarity. This initiative is open to associative or cooperative structures that propose food assistance, whether it be occasional or permanent, such as solidarity grocery stores, food distribution, or delivery services.
The Attractiveness of the Parisian Civil Service:
In today’s dynamic job market, competition between employers is now possible in many sectors, including the civil service. Mobility and the desire for mobility have also significantly increased for current employees and public agents. The civil service is currently experiencing a general and ongoing decline in the number of candidates. In this context, the City of Paris has been relatively spared, despite recruitment difficulties in the most in-demand professions at the national level. As an employer, the City of Paris is a major presence in the Île-de-France region, with 5,000 new hires each year. Many new employees join the City to replace retirees or take on new missions. Paris attracts talent thanks to its values and a welcoming and inclusive work environment. The City is committed to ensuring an ethical framework by promoting gender equality, combating all forms of discrimination in the workplace, fighting against violence and protecting employees who may be victims, providing procedures for resolving work difficulties, and preventing psychosocial risks.
“2024 Pari(s) de l’emploi”: A Program for Parisians Furthest from Employment:
The Olympic and Paralympic Games are seen as an opportunity accelerator and have a significant impact on local employment. They are also expected to address recruitment tensions affecting many sectors in the capital. The “EnJeux Emplois 2018-2024” action plan aims to ensure that Parisians furthest from employment directly benefit from these employment opportunities.
Upcoming Sessions:
– From Tuesday, November 14th to Friday, November 17th, 2023
– From Tuesday, December 12th to Friday, December 15th, 2023
