The Grand-Est Region has opted to set up a scheme called “capital stages” to support companies. In addition to providing financial assistance to the companies concerned, this scheme also helps young interns continue their tutoring to facilitate their professional integration.
It targets very small companies, SMEs, the construction and public works sector, the industry as well as companies in the social and solidarity economy. Focus on these lines for more details. So, without further ado, let’s get into this blog and learn more and this subject.
The objective of the capital internship scheme
The main objective of this scheme is to support the training of young people and to help companies financially in taking charge of the tutoring of trainees during this period of crisis, particularly since the appearance of the pandemic.
With its skills in terms of guidance and training, the system mainly favors young people in their search for internships or jobs. It allows companies to accompany them in their professional integration process by proposing a regional action plan on the one hand.
