Apprentis d'Auteuil

A Catholic foundation recognised as a "public interest" body and committed player in prevention and child protection, Apprentis d'Auteuil develops social action, education, training and integration programmes in France and abroad to give vulnerable young people and families what they lack most: confidence. Apprentis d'Auteuil provides support for almost 30,000 young people and families in almost 230 establishments. These youngsters are entrusted to them by their families or by the children's welfare department. The foundation provides 85 different vocational training courses in 17 industries. On the international front, Apprentis d'Auteuil has elected to work in partnership with other organisations. The foundation is involved in schemes in over 54 countries, working with 195 local partners. Every year, 22,000 young people and families benefit from these programmes around the world. Auteuil Formation Continue (AFC), a subsidiary association of Apprentis d'Auteuil, is dedicated to training and getting people with social issues, in particular young people under the age of 26, into or back into work. AFC's aims are three-fold: to enable the least qualified young people (aged 16-25) to get their first job; to qualify, facilitate and optimise the return to work of young people and adults who have been out of work for a long time; to maintain, transfer and develop the skills of low-skilled workers in particular.
