Marine Ravinet is the spokesperson for Chance, an organization that has been supporting individuals in their career guidance for over 10 years. As many young people find themselves without solutions after Parcoursup and artificial intelligence disrupts the job market, Chance offers them 12,000 guidance pathways to help them find their way.

Over 120,000 high school students and university students found themselves without a solution after the first wave of Parcoursup. To support them, Chance offers a two-step process: identifying their talents, aspirations, and motivations, then confronting these desires with the reality of the job market. Young people can also rely on a network of over 20,000 individuals to receive advice and access internship, apprenticeship, or job opportunities.

Because beyond the difficulties in accessing training, the entire world of work is transforming. According to a study by HEC and the Banque de France, recruitment for junior positions has decreased by an average of 28% with the rise of AI. In this context, guidance can no longer simply be about choosing a career for a lifetime. "Today, it's more about teaching them a way of thinking that allows them to navigate,” explains Marine Ravinet.

For Chance, the challenge is to help young people better understand themselves, but also to identify the skills that will enable them to adapt, particularly those that AI finds difficult to replace: teamwork, oral communication, and human connection. "It's no longer so much about guidance as a final destination; it's more about guidance as the ability and skill to navigate in a constantly changing job market," concludes Marine Ravinet.
