There can be no sustainable development without effective solutions that enable young people to integrate into the labour market and society. They are both the future of our regions and the key to their vitality. That is our conviction at TotalEnergies. The TotalEnergies site in Pau is launching a call for projects with the aim of supporting initiatives that promote the professional integration of young people in vulnerable situations. Participating in JIMP'ACT means proposing an impactful project that aims to develop young people's confidence and ability to take action, supporting them in building an informed future for themselves!
Becoming a TotalEnergies Foundation partner is not just about receiving financial support to set up or roll out a project. We also encourage our employees to give up to three working days per year to solidarity initiatives through the Action! program. The Foundation can also offer support through online training courses such as "Making your digital transition successful: where to start?".
Partners selected in 2025
In 2025, around thirty projects were submitted to the platform dedicated to the call for initiatives promoting education and professional integration for young people. After reviewing the applications, four of them were selected to present their projects to a jury.
Following this selection process, two associations were chosen as winners: AJIR and E2C – École de la Deuxième Chance (Second Chance School). For three years, they will receive comprehensive support including financial assistance of up to €20,000, help with implementing their initiatives, and support from volunteers mobilised as part of the Action! program.
AJIR – DEFI Young Adults Project
The DEFI Young Adults project, led by AJIR, supports young people aged 18 to 21 who are former protected minors and living with disabilities, facing dual vulnerability. It offers an intensive and individualized six‑month program combining personal development, group workshops and career exploration. The objective is to secure their pathways, strengthen autonomy, and accelerate access to qualifying training or suitable employment, while preventing disruptions and long‑term exclusion.

E2C 64 – "Businesses, Youth & Employment" Project
The Businesses, Youth & Employment project, carried out by E2C 64, aims to build lasting connections between young people who are distant from employment and local economic stakeholders. It uses sport as a unifying lever to create opportunities for interaction, foster confidence, and highlight skills. Dedicated events align the skills development needs of young participants with those of companies, supporting their integration pathways and opening access to concrete professional opportunities.
Partners selected in 2023
In 2023, out of the thirty or so applications submitted on the platform dedicated to the call for initiatives in favour of the education and professional integration of young people, 4 were shortlisted to pitch in front of a jury. The two winning JIMP'ACT associations receive financial support of up to €20,000 for 3 years, as well as support in implementing their project, and the expertise and mobilization of volunteer staff through the Action! program.

In Pau, AJIR supports the integration of migrant minors through apprenticeships thanks to its network of apprentice training centers (CFA) and local companies.

Rebonds! educators often offer rugby activities in schools, after-school programs and specialized facilities in the Toulouse region.
