Ecole de la 2e Chance de Lorraine

The « Second Chance School » of Lorraine welcomes young people between 16 to 25 years old (up to 30 years old for RSA - Active Solidarity Income - beneficiaries in some area), who have left the school system without diplomas or qualifications. The goal is to give them several opportunities on the professional area.

The criteria for integration are based mainly on the motivation, commitment, and willingness of these young adults (called trainees) to achieve a job or qualification.

The content of the E2C training focuses mainly on:
- The Construction of the professional project;
- The Orientation and choice of a profession, interests, labour market, training offers, job search techniques (how to write your résumé, letter of motivation);
- The development of fundamental knowledge (French, maths, and IT environment);
- The skills development and socio-professional skills (communication, sport, culture, citizenship, etc.).

In addition, the E2C of Lorraine is a training and support system that is organized on the mode of alternance (Training Centre/ Company).

At the E2C, we use a project pedagogy and a practice of active pedagogy that allows to generate learning through the realization of a concrete activity. At the E2C, the project is worked in a group. Trainees are accompanied by their trainers to carry out themselves all the way through the realization of the chosen project. It’s about “learning by doing” and developing skills.

We are looking for partners who take care of young people of the same age and who would like to organize meetings and projects with us.
