INDONESIA – JABABEKA : L’ORÉAL COMPUTER CLASS (LCC)

For this, high school students are supported from the age of 13-14 years in their studies by female sponsors in a scientific field working at the Burgos plant. The sponsors' role will be to support these young girls in choosing their vocational Direction and in demystifying the various technical and scientific professions. They will help them to have more confidence in themselves and to question certain prejudices based on gender stereotypes. As a result, there are currently 15 women from the Burgos plant who will be inspirational sponsors, helping these students for two years during the first phase of STEM Talent Girl. GERMANY– KARLSRUHE : REFUGEES The Karlsruhe plant has developed an initiative to support the integration of refugees. For this, the plant has contacted associations and non-profit organisations, local authorities and employment agencies. This initiative involves presenting the Operations Division businesses in schools where there are specific classes for child refugees who are undertaking technical training. During these presentations, L’Oréal presented learning opportunities and the professions in question. In 2017, this integration work enabled young refugees to benefit from 2017: two introductory two-week courses with production line s technicians; a four-month administration course for a female refugee s without employment experience; an induction course for a chemical engineer without s employment experience.

“L’Oréal Computer Class” is a joint programme between the L’Oréal plant in Indonesia, the Youth Desk of the Indonesian National Commission for UNESCO, the Jababeka Industrial Estate, President University and the Al Amin vocational high school. It is entirely financed by L’Oréal Manufacturing Indonesia. Created in January 2015, the aim of this project is to improve the abilities and skills of disadvantaged young people in Cikarang so as to give them the means to enter the employment market. The training programme, endorsed and established by the teams at “President University” and the UNESCO Youth Desk, lasts for six months. It includes weekly training given by student volunteers in different areas: IT, marketing and promotion, public relations and creative design. After a month of preparation, the students must present a team project on entrepreneurship. The three best proposals will receive support from the L’Oréal Manufacturing Indonesia plant. When the training is concluded, a certificate signed by the Indonesian National Commission for UNESCO and L’Oréal Manufacturing Indonesia will be given to all of the beneficiaries and volunteers. Since 2015, 1,300 people have benefited from this programme. SPAIN – BURGOS: STEM TALENT GIRL The Burgos plant has entered into a partnership with STEM Talent Girl (science, technology, engineering and mathematics).
