Hotel Martinez and Hyatt Regency Nice | Les Déterminés (Southeast France)
Les Déterminés (Southeast France)
Relationship with Hotel(s): Two Hyatt hotels in France identified Les Déterminés as their primary national RiseHY partner in 2019 when the initiative was launched in France. Since launching, Les Déterminés has helped these Hyatt hotels in France source and train over 40 Opportunity Youth. Hyatt has gone on to provide additional vocational training to roughly 30 Opportunity Youth and successfully hire 16. In addition, Hyatt France leadership serves on the Strategic Committee of Les Déterminés and the hotels host Les Déterminés events, such as their Master Classes.
NGO mission: Les Déterminés’ purpose is to help develop both an initiative and entrepreneurial spirit in underserved and isolated territories, in France.
Grant purpose: In the South of France, young people aged 18 to 24 residing in urban areas represent 23 percent of those who leave school without graduating. To address this issue, building off their successful program in the Paris region, Les Déterminés is expanding to the southeast. In partnership with the hospitality sector in Cannes and Nice, Les Déterminés is helping Opportunity Youth in southeast France find and retain employment, while building confidence and other soft-skills.
Through the Hyatt Community Grant from Hyatt, 20 Opportunity Youth, identified through local partners, will be introduced to the world of hospitality through six months of vocational training. The goal of the program is for the Opportunity Youth to obtain a permanent contract role upon completion of their training. Les Déterminés will then continue to work with the Opportunity Youth to ensure they receive the support they need to continue to grow their careers.
