Both groups highlighted the positive experiences and skills acquired throughout the program.

Youth pride and commitment

Pauline Thauvette-Leroux, President of the Caisse Desjardins de Vaudreuil-Soulanges, was invited to speak at the event, and praised the pleasure of working with Carrefour Jeunesse-emploi de Vaudreuil-Soulanges year after year:

"The conditions have always been ripe for joint projects that promote the well-being of our young community. The services offered by the CJEVS are numerous, and continue to evolve in step with the needs of our young community. The organization has an accurate vision of community reality, and Desjardins Vaudreuil-Soulanges is proud to be associated with it".

The 14th edition of the Desjardins Jeunes au travail program was a great success, enabling 18 young people in the region to land their first job, thanks to the collaboration of 15 committed local businesses. "It's a real pleasure year after year to see the pride and commitment of these young people," said Jessica Myre, CJEVS General Manager.
