DUO for a JOB is a mentoring program in Rotterdam that connects people over 50 with young people with a migration background who are looking for a job or training.
DUO for a JOB is a Rotterdam foundation that connects young people with a migration background (mentees) to volunteer 50-plussers (mentors). Together they work together for six months (weekly +/- 2 hours) as DUO to actively take steps towards a job, internship or training for the young person.
With this intergenerational and intercultural mentoring program, DUO for a JOB wants to: 1) reduce inequality in access to the labor market, 2) better appreciate and utilize the knowledge and experience of people over 50, and 3) bring people into contact who would not normally meet each other in everyday life.
Thanks to the customized guidance by the mentors and the foundation, the mentees gain more self-confidence, become more independent and know better which tools they can use in their search for work or training. As a result, 7 out of 10 mentees find a sustainable job, training or internship that suits them.
For mentors, DUO for a JOB offers a substantive training program, coaching experience and an enriching social experience. This is experienced so positively that 8 out of 10 mentors want to continue with a second mentee after six months.
