Bordeaux: Societe Generale, a springboard to a career in banking

Societe Generale has long been involved in promoting the professional integration of young people. On September 28, she is organizing a job dating in Bordeaux to allow them to find a first job in a promising company with career opportunities. Since the beginning of the pandemic, the 1jeune1solution initiative has been highlighting possible positions and career paths for young people. Faced with the health situation, but also the economic situation on the side of companies, young people fear for their future. Having a degree, but finding yourself in a closed job market, where companies do not want to recruit or little to relaunch… Societe Generale wants to show tomorrow’s assets that their careers are at their fingertips.

A job dating driven by Societe Generale throughout France

Societe Generale wants to make things happen, to show young people at the end of their studies or looking for a contract that positions are available for them. It is for this reason that the group mobilizes on the occasion of events such as job datings to promote their company, and recruit new talents. According to Société Générale, young people are the drivers of tomorrow’s change.

Thus, across France, more than 4000 positions are to be filled for young people. Positions to be filled as part of an internship, a work-study contract, VIE, or even on fixed-term contracts and permanent contracts. This allows as many candidates as possible to find their way with contracts that match their expectations and profile. Societe Generale does not stop there, and also thinks of young people who do their observation internship in 3rd grade. Although the professional career of these young people is still far away, it is a first experience that can create vocations. Societe Generale then wants to facilitate the completion of 3rd grade internships for more than 800 young people in France. Young people located in REP and REP+ priority education zones.

In Bordeaux, Societe Generale expects to meet between 80 and 100 potential candidates for one of the many positions on offer. In order to attract more candidates, it proposed to a dozen partner companies located in the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region to participate in the event. For the bank, it is a question of offering these candidates a real springboard to professional life… Towards a career in the bankingsector.

Thus, Societe Generale is looking for various profiles such as agency directors; marketing facilitators; assistants in charge of corporate operations; and finally, partnership and prescription facilitators. So many strategic positions of the group, allowing career development, in particular.

Supporting employment in sectors in difficulty

Some sectors of activity have been affected by the consequences of the Covid-19 pandemic more heavily than others. Indeed, not all companies have been able to continue their activity in the same way during the lockdowns. While some have transformed to be part of a new, more current strategy, others are only picking up their pace.

A disrupted pace, sometimes with the obligation to separate from certain employees, for economic reasons. A drop in activity, which, despite aid such as partial activity or support measures provided by the Region or the Government, does not allow to function as before the crisis.

Thus, while sectors such as tourism are resuming their activity very slowly, others on the contrary are facing significant increases in activity. This is particularly the case for digital, one of the big winners of this pandemic. The lockdown has encouraged companies to use digital tools for their business. Because today, for Societe Generale as for many other companies in all sectors, Digital is essential to develop.

Through this Job Dating, Societe Generale is sending a strong message. Employment is not at a standstill, on the contrary, it is regaining its full scope… And shows young people of all ages and profiles that a career is possible, after months of pandemic and uncertainty. The future is looming, driven by the assets of today and tomorrow, ready to revive the national economy. Societe Generale is taking part in this major challenge and supports people looking for work. Valuable support to launch your professional career…
