Facilitating professional inclusion and encouraging entrepreneurship
Promoting professional integration and job creation, encouraging social integration projects and community-based actions in the heart of underprivileged neighbourhoods, supporting the integration of refugees, and helping people in highly precarious situations are all ways of combatting various forms of exclusion. For 30 years, the BNP Paribas Foundation has supported associations working to support professional inclusion.
