“My integration contract with Ateliers du bocage was a highly successful experience for me and it marked an important turning point in my career. Without having any professional experience in France, I was able to get an integration contract that helped me to improve my skills and get useful qualifications that are relevant for the current job market. I developed business skills and little by little I was able to regain my self-confidence.
While I was on this integration contract, I received support throughout. This allowed me to find suitable accommodation, to get help with administrative procedures, to get to work easily thanks to the bus and the internal carpool and to take French classes during my working hours.
I also worked on my career plan. I was able to visit companies and spend two weeks doing work experience which led to a job in the field I wanted. I am very proud of my career path.”
