Brigitte Macron came Monday to meet the students of the Vocations Institute for Employment (Live), school for young people without training - called "livers" - she created in Clichy-sous-Bois, Seine-Saint -Denis, with the help of the LVMH group.
"I feel good in the action"
"Today, I do not give lessons, I get to know the students, I have my little anxiety of coming back as a teacher ...", joked before the press the wife of the Head of State , who will lead the educational project of the Institute.
She will give once a month a literature course but will come every week to discuss the educational project with other teachers. Its educational committee includes personalities such as chef Thierry Marx and Olivier Klein, mayor of this poor town in the Paris region.
About 50 young adults have been selected to take this free nine-month training. "We are small but we may have a vocation to grow up," she said. "I feel good in the action". This institute, funded by the LVMH luxury group, aims to train young adults between the ages of 25 and 30 who have no training, no diploma or employment, with a view to their integration into the world of work. They will be paid about 1,000 euros per month. These "dropouts", estimated at 300,000 in France, do not currently benefit from ad-hoc devices, unlike those under 25 years.
"At any age, we can leave"
"We imagined a program that will be scalable, I will do a little literature.We built a base around which they will be able to build a personal project.We will do Montessori for adults," said Brigitte Macron Monday. "At any age you can leave, of course you need food jobs" but "I want a job that suits them, something that is good for their personal growth," she said.
There are many devices that exist "but" from 25 years is more complicated, "continued Brigitte Macron.The wife of the Head of State closely monitors the issues related to education, she who was a French teacher at the Lycée de la Providence in Amiens, where she met Emmanuel Macron, then a high school student, then at the private Jesuit school Saint-Louis-de-Gonzague, in Paris, until 2015.
