Valérie Pécresse discusses the “My job after the Games” portal: “Taking advantage of the skills acquired by these workers”

In order to guarantee a professional continuity for individuals mobilized during the Paris 2024 Olympic and Paralympic Games, Valérie Pécresse, president of the Île-de-France region, highlights the “My job after the Games” portal. This initiative aims to capitalize on skills acquired by workers during this global event, by offering them personalized support towards new professional opportunities. From the security sector to transport, the objective is to sustain the jobs created and ensure a smooth transition to sustainable careers.

The importance of professional retraining after the Games

Valérie Pécresse highlighted the significant impact of the Olympic and Paralympic Games (JOP) on employment in the Île-de-France region. According to her, “the legacy of the Games is also to ensure the retraining of all the people mobilized and trained for the Games”. The “My job after the Games” portal is a concrete response to this ambition.

The portal will offer former JOP 2024 employees a tailor-made assistance to re-enter the job market. Whether in the security, organization of events or even the transport, the platform offers numerous opportunities to promote each skill acquired.

France Travail and personalized support

As part of the partnership between the Île-de-France region, France Travail and the State, personalized support will be put in place for people trained and employed during the Games. This system aims to direct workers towards professions in line with the skills acquired, as Valérie Pécresse explained: “Someone who has worked in security could become an airport security agent or municipal police officer”.

A mobilization of large companies in the region

To ensure the job sustainability post-JOP, the president of the Île-de-France region mobilized large local businesses. This involvement will allow workers to transition to long-term positions that are in line with the skills developed during the Games. “My job after the Games” will thus be a real lever for finding a stable job.

“It’s working very well,” declared Valérie Pécresse, referring to the first results of this initiative. Partner companies are enthusiastic and ready to welcome these new talents, thus strengthening the regional economic fabric.

Transport, a key sector

The 2024 Olympic and Paralympic Games have also highlighted the importance of public transport. As Valérie Pécresse pointed out during a round table, “making the final turn” is essential for the fluidity of regional mobility. The skills acquired in this sector during the 2024 Olympic Games will be crucial for the post-event transition.

A lasting legacy for the Île-de-France region

In conclusion, Valérie Pécresse summarizes this initiative as “the realization of the heritage of games for the employment of Ile-de-France residents”. The “My Job After the Games” portal represents an exceptional opportunity to transform the experience acquired during the Games into real professional assets, thus guaranteeing a sustainable future for the workers concerned.
