“My Coach helped me believe in myself, value myself as a person and as a student, and realize that I could do things for myself.”
The Exit Foundation firmly believe that every young person has potential and in the equal opportunities to develop that potential. That is why we believe that it is unfair that issues such as their postcode or the place where they are born should limit their future.
Through Project Coach, we get youth at-risk and who have left education early to learn about the world of business.
Due to the support of their coach and the tools provided to them by the project, they discover a new environment, activate their individual potential and therefore manage to shape a successful future for themselves.
MAKING CONTACT

COMPANY PRESENTATION

Their interest is awakened by expanding their vision of the professional world, as well as introducing them to different professions. For many of them, it is the first time they ever visit an office!
SECTOR OF INTEREST
The objective of this session is to motivate young people and enable them to really get to know those areas of the company that have sparked their interest during the first visit. The aim is to help them discover their work interests and give them the tools required to shape a successful future for themselves in the working world.
PEOPLE DEPARTMENT
The objective of this session is to enhance the self-esteem of young people and help them get to know themselves better by reviewing their CV and analysing their transversal skills. The aim is to highlight the value of their experiences and relate them to the professional field.
