For the third year in a row, it is on Parcoursup that high school students must make their wishes for their post-bas studies. If 'the tool launched by the government in 2018 has entered the habits and habits of users, it remains a source of anxiety, if not anxiety, for students, but also for their parents. In 2020, the deadline for the formulation of wishes was set for March 12. One week before the deadline, La France bouge, on Europe 1, presents three tools likely to help adolescent girls in this crucial choice.
Weeprep, the app to get to know yourself better
The founders of Weeprep started from a simple observation: "educational guidance is treated from the angle of job information. But in fact, we start at the end. The first block is the identity of the adolescent, "explains Laïla Ducher, her manager. So here is the concept of this application, intended for 11-18 year olds: first get the students to know each other, before deciding which route to take.
"Allowing teens to hang on to a project is first of all interested in who they are, what they want, their identity", develops the co-founder of Weeprep. "Who is he? What does he want to be? How does he see his success? That is something important. It is not because we are good at math that we necessarily wants to be an engineer. Just because we're good at mathematics doesn't mean that our future is set. It's much more complicated than that. "
Concretely, how does Weeprep work? "It is an application with a monitoring dashboard, either for the main teacher or for the parents. The adult receives competence statistics from the adolescent", specifies Laïla Ducher. "Statistics always turned towards the knowledge of the student." Creativity, responsibility, autonomy, we are focused on that. We try to develop this in adolescents, and it will be anchored in a dialogue between him and the adult. Because orienting yourself is not done alone. This is what we are also trying to do with this tool. "
Génération Zébrée, the site that helps generation Z to discover new professions
Here again, the founders of Génération Zébrée started from a different observation: "We thought 'it's crazy the number of professions that we had never heard of before, which exist and which are super interesting, "says Juliette Roubaud. "I wanted to introduce young people to these jobs."
From where a simple idea and which especially speaks to young people: a Tinder of trades. "You register, and if you have no idea what you wanted to do, we offer you an orientation test, with a personality test," explains Juliette Roubaud. "Depending on the results of this test, we will order a base of trades. And when you arrive on this famous Tinder, the first trades that we will offer you are consistent with your profile. And it is you who say who it interests you or not. Then, we offer training that exists to train for these jobs. The idea is that you can consult this information to prepare your wishes on Parcoursup "
Génération Zébrée works in collaboration with the professional branches, in particular on the discovery of trades and promotion of the trades of the future, and with higher snowmaking establishments. "Our vision is to promote the professional integration of generation Z. And among all the jobs that exist, identify those who hire the most", adds Juliette Roubaud. "We also strive to overcome all the prejudices that there may be and give young people the desire to orient themselves towards these fields."
My job glasses, the platform that connects students and professionals
Third observation, this one established by the founders of My job glasses: young people do not know the trades to which they are moving. "Very often, when they arrive at the company, they realize that they don't like it," explains Emilie Korchia, co-founder of the site. "46% of young people leave their profession before the end of the first year. There is a difference between the offer and the reality."
The idea is therefore to allow young people to discover the business upstream, via contact, either on the premises or by Skype, with a professional. "You have to dare, it's made for them, and professionals happy to share their daily life," says Emilie Korchia. "We will help young people to ask the right questions, namely what do you do on a daily basis, what is a typical day, what do you prefer, what is the best more difficult."
My job glasses also wishes to allow candidates to widen their field of possibilities. When they look for information on jobs, young people type a lot in digital, marketing, finance. These are the trades that stand out the most, "note Emilie Korchia." We will advise them of other research, give them examples of professionals met by other students who had done the same research as them at the start. "
Last advantage of My job glasses: allow high school students and students to create a network. "Very few young people network," regrets Emilie Korchia. "The network is accessible to everyone. We want to train all young people in the network approach"
