The Citizens’ Service: A transition to working life in the Walloon Region

The SC organises the transition of young people into working life by offering them to invest 6 months full-time in projects useful to the community in the public and voluntary sector (help for people, solidarity, culture, education, environment, etc.) while benefiting from weekly training and personalised support. Alternation, guidance before and after the SC, and the inclusion of the programme in a partnership approach (host organisations, forem, local missions, ISP, SIEP, Ifapme, AMO’s, teaching, etc.) organise the relays towards the resumption of training, studies, apprenticeships, traineeships or access to employment. This project is a continuation of the activities carried out in Wallonia since 2018 and aims to enable 778 young Walloons without a job or training per year to carry out a SC, i.e. 2334 young people over 3 years (2023-2025). The young people targeted are NEETs with no distinction between groups, but a special effort will be made to mobilise young people with the lowest levels of education and/or who are far from the labour market through appropriate methodology and the development of local partnerships.
