CNP Assurances and the Association Nationale Les Entrepreneuriales (national entrepreneurial association) both wish to raise young peoples' awareness of the importance of entrepreneurship and have entered into a partnership agreement to roll out the Les Entrep’ programme among as many young people in France as possible.
The ANLE, an association recognised as being in the public interest, is rolling out the Les Entrep’ programme across France via its regions. The programme, which provides people with training in how to set up companies, is completely free and is open to any young person who has obtained their bachelor’s degree. As part of its transformation, which involves in particular opening up to start-ups, CNP Assurances has implemented a number of initiatives designed to help entrepreneurs set up companies.
Supporting the ANLE was therefore a completely natural move for France's leading life insurance provider, as further evidence of its social commitment. In addition to helping to produce a SPOC on jobs in the insurance sector and in so doing contributing to Les Entrep’ e-learning content, CNP Assurances will share the wide-ranging expertise of its staff with these young people. The Les Entrep’ programme encourages people to show initiative, it showcases people's expertise and it introduces these young people to corporate life by providing them with a practical training path and an opportunity for professionals and company directors share their experience with them.
As the ANLE’s insurance partner, CNP Assurances had already opened its doors to the young people of the 2019 Les Entrep’ intake in the Ile-de-France region: on 5 March, 15 of them met the Group's employees at its head office who gave them practice with future recruitment interviews and advice on more effectively presenting their projects. On 26 March, 90 young people with entrepreneurial projects presented their pitches as a team in front of a panel partly made up of representatives of CNP Assurances. The panel named the winners who will represent the Ile-de-France region and go head-to-head with 13 other regional teams as part of the Les Entrep’ France Awards on 24 May in Paris.
