This Monday, the Île-de-France region is launching the My After Games platform, offers 30,000 job offers from 40 public and private employers.

It’s over! On Sunday, France said goodbye to the Games with the closing ceremony of the Paralympics. If France will regret the end of this golden bracket, for some, waking up will be even more difficult. This is especially the case for the officials of the Olympic and Paralympic Games who work to ensure the success of the event and whose mission is sustained.

Wanting to facilitate their integration, the Île-de-France region is launching a platform this Monday to help them find sustainable work. Your name: My job after the Games. For companies, as for candidates, you just have to enter a job, or a skill, and a region to access the available options. « It is not enough to succeed in the Olympics, we must also succeed in their heritage »explained Valérie Pécresse, president (LR) of the Île-de-France region, which manages the project in collaboration with France Travail. The stakes are high. The few weeks of events require the help of almost 180,000 workers, including beginners, before and during the competitions, including 150,000 in the capital region alone. The vast majority have been convinced to continue with the same employer in different missions. However, this is not true for everyone. « If we add volunteers, we calculate that 40 000 of them are likely to find themselves without a job »warn the chosen one.

Such a result will be failure. A significant number of them were able to benefit from training and gain valuable experience in these few weeks. « The Olympics are a great training ground for professionals »to Valérie Pécresse, to whom he refers in particular « interpersonal skills » etc « desire to work » that the staff and volunteers showed throughout the competition. For some, this time is an opportunity to get closer to work or to get back on track after a difficult time. « Our close work with companies collaborating on Games to understand their needs and respond to them has enabled the hiring of more than 30. 000 people, especially in safety, food or cleanliness. Of them, 50 % have been unemployed for several months and are looking for other sectors » said Nadine Crinier, regional director of France Travail Île-de-France.

On the employer side, the demand for these profiles is there. « There are strong hiring plans across the country »confirms Bernard Cohen-Hadad, President of the Confederation of Small and Medium Enterprises (CPME) Paris Île-de-France. Better yet, the needs of employers are often matched to the profiles behind the Games. Therefore, the security, hospitality and events sectors are popularly in short supply. « The importance of thinking about the question of employment over the long term, beyond the Games, has always been », added the CPME President. As proof, even before its release, My job after the Games platform already has listed more than 30,000 job offers, from 40 public and private employers according to Valérie Pécresse. In which, « 8 000 positions in Disney, 5 000 at Carrefour, 1 000 to Société Générale, or 5 000 in the police »he made a list. And that number should rise quickly with supply from small and medium businesses.

New actions

The specific question of the integration of former Olympic workers into the local economic fabric may therefore be an opportunity to modernize new, more general practices for the benefit of the unemployed.

The concept of a site dedicated to the local level is, for example, particularly important by business stakeholders. « We have difficulty communicating about our service offeringsconfirmed Bernard Cohen-Hadad of CPME, and I believe that the community is the best stage to address the subject. It is through proximity that we can make things happen. » Within France Travail, the idea is also understandable. « In each region, the labor market has its specifications »underlines Nadine Crinier who indicates the very high rate of appropriate offer, 80%, in the Ile-de-France region. In addition, it is at the regional level that the training policy is decided. And while there’s already plenty of training ahead of the Games, there’s still plenty to do. « Some will need additional training, others will want to take advantage of career paths »prediction of the president of the Île-de-France region. And to indicate, for example, security agents moving towards the police or airport platforms. Two big recruiters are potentially interested. It has already been confirmed that my employment after the Games will continue to be available even once the previous employees have been restructured.
