0:00 Hello, it's Juliette, and welcome to the Salon Jeunes d'Avenir at Porte de la Villette in Paris. 0:05 An event aimed at young people aged 16 to 30 looking for training, a job, or simply advice. 0:12 Agathe Grosjean works at CNP Assurances. 0:14 I'm 22 years old and I work at CNP Assurances. I was born in Paris and I'm currently an apprentice there in recruitment. 0:21 In recruitment, okay. So what exactly are your tasks? 0:24 Well, I do a bit of everything. This year, I'm in charge of recruiting interns and apprentices. 0:30 We're currently working with the team on the 2024 apprenticeship campaign to recruit our future 120 apprentices without a company. 0:40 And with what we have left, we'll have a population of 170 apprentices starting in 2024. 0:44 You're an apprentice who recruits apprentices? 0:47 Yes, that's right. It's a bit special to be addressing you and being with young people roughly my age in an interview. 0:53 But then they come into the company and the apprentice community that I'm in charge of starts, and then it's all informal. 1:03 So how long does your apprenticeship last and how long have you been doing it? 1:07 I started my Master's 1 in Human Resources Management at the beginning of the 2023 school year. 1:13 So it's been almost 8 months that I've been in position at CNP Assurances. 1:18 And I'm starting my Master's 2 at the beginning of the school year for 15 months. So I'll be here until September 2025. 1:23 And since you're involved, you'll be able to answer this question very well. 1:27 In your opinion, what are the 5 advantages of an apprenticeship with you? 1:30 First of all, it's really the training and support. 1:34 Apprentices with us have a mentor who follows them throughout their apprenticeship year and supports them from their integration to train them in their role. 1:43 CNP Assurances is also a company that has many advantages for its apprentices. 1:48 Financial benefits but also from the company's perspective. 1:52 We have a brand new headquarters that was delivered last year with the best possible facilities for apprentices. 1:59 What profiles are you looking for in apprentices in terms of skills but also personality? 2:05 The profiles we look for will be very different depending on the positions in terms of technical skills. 2:11 But in terms of human skills, it's always the same. 2:14 To join CNP Assurances, you need maturity to understand the challenges of a large financed group like ours. 2:20 Autonomy, but of course they need to be trained, and above all, motivation. 2:25 Motivation to work well and to learn. 2:27 Great. And it's a bit of our slogan at Impact.info, which is to make a difference. 2:32 We interview entrepreneurs who have impactful actions for both the business world and society. 2:39 So a slightly English question in the same way. 2:41 In your opinion, how can apprenticeships make a difference within a company? 2:45 Making a difference because we also confront several generations. 2:48 Apprentices are generally young students who meet more experienced people in the company. 2:56 So it's the clash of generations but from a good perspective since they meet, work together, and exchange different viewpoints. 3:03 And it's rewarding for both the apprentices and the company. 3:07 For the company because we try to train young people to try to retain them afterwards. 3:11 And for the apprentices, learning while being in school is really one of the best forms of training for us. 3:19 Great. And one last question to conclude, a bit more personal. 3:22 16 years old is the age at which one can start an apprenticeship if they wish. 3:26 It's also an age where you can start your first business if you want to. 3:29 Did you know what you dreamed of when you were 16? 3:32 Not at all. I think when you're 16, you're still in high school. 3:37 So I didn't even know what I wanted to do after high school. 3:41 What I wanted to do later, even less so. 3:44 But that's what higher education is for, to help you project yourself, discover a lot of things, and then find your place. 3:49 You might not even imagine doing an apprenticeship, right? Did you even know what it was? 3:53 At 16, it's true that we don't hear about it. I didn't know it existed. 3:57 I discovered it during my higher studies after doing three years of a degree at Sorbonne on the university benches. 4:04 We want to get a bit of hands-on experience, and that's how I discovered apprenticeships. 4:08 But it's true that we weren't really talked about it back then. 4:11 Thank you very much for this interview and for this conversation. 4:14 I hope you will find profiles that match what you're looking for. Do you already have some leads? 4:18 We already have some leads. We've met candidates who seem motivated to do an apprenticeship with us. 4:24 We're collecting CVs and will try to position them on our offers. 4:27 Thanks to Agathe Grosjean who works at CNP Assurances in Paris as a recruitment apprentice.
