Let’s Build Together: “Let us be more of a school of fish than a whale”. As part of its partnership agreement with the Union for Business of 06, the CACI of PLIE NCA aims to conduct occasional operations to bridge the gap between the world of business, sports, and professional integration.
Sponsorship of people in integration by high-level athletes
Thus, starting in October, a major sponsorship operation was launched.
Objectives:
- Enhance and invigorate candidates through sponsorship and monitor their first steps in a company with the help of a high-level athlete who will impart their values: mental qualities, self-surpassing, ability to integrate into a collective, etc.
- Allow each “protégé” to discover the environment and daily life of their sponsor during occasional operations where they will be a privileged guest.
- 40 high-level sports godparents are mobilized by the UPE 06 sports commission.
They come from the world of professional football (OGCNice), but also from other team and individual sports (swimming, rugby, basketball, handball, volleyball, cycling, etc.), and especially from Paralympic champions who will be the best vectors of self-surpassing values and the fight against fatalism.
Occasionally, to encourage connection and exchanges between sponsors and protégés, festive operations such as pétanque or football tournaments will be organized to mobilize representative teams from all the participants in the operation (Institutions, the world of sports, integration, and business).
Thus, Nice Côte d’Azur has been committed, since 2008, to an ambitious policy in terms of integration and employment. Proof of this commitment, the Deputy Mayor of Nice reminded, “three significant figures of my action: the local mission, the linchpin of my ‘support-integration’ plan, follows 8,000 young people per year of which 3,000 are newcomers”.
The Nice Stadium project innovates in Public-Private Partnership, being the first at the national level to include integration clauses both in the construction phase and the operating phase (for 28 years).
Thus, during the 2 years of construction, Vinci will hire 56 full-time integration employees (60% of whom are young people).
Furthermore, about fifteen positions are open to these integration measures in logistics, technical, extras, access management, and green spaces during the 28 years of operation.
Each person recruited under this scheme will be sponsored by a high-level athlete (OGCN, swimming, basketball, handball, volleyball, cycling, parasports) with the objective of promoting the transmission of values and discovering the environment of high-level athletes.
Here are the athletes who have agreed to be part of the group of “sponsors”:
