KEDGE has created the "Entrepreneural School", an initiative aimed at young people from priority neighbourhoods.

We told you about it back in June in one of our news articles, but today it's final - KEDGE has just launched its "Entrepreneurial School". This is a solidarity initiative that offers young people (mostly from priority neighbourhoods) a 3-year course of study that is financed by sponsors. The first cycle starts in Marseille in November 2020 and will be extended to Bordeaux and Paris in the following years.

Until recently, there was an inequality of opportunity between those with and without a high school diploma. Today, many high school diploma holders from priority districts, are out of the recruiters' circuit or can’t carry out their entrepreneurial project because they run into too many obstacles, mainly due to a lack of qualifications. Because adding two years of post-high school education (BAC +2) to a curriculum vitae increases employability by 30%, the post-high school years have therefore become pivotal.

Based on this observation, KEDGE has invested in a mission to support these young people by offering them a unique and personalised value proposition: the "Entrepreneurial School".
