L'école des cuistots migrateurs

The École des Cuistots Migrateurs is a free, certificate-issuing cooking school for statutory refugees which allows them to obtain a cook's diploma in four months. The training includes professional French courses and personalised support to best prepare for professional insertion at the end of the training. The association was created at the initiative of the co-founders of ESS Cuistots Migrateurs, the solidarity caterer that trains and employs refugees.

The Societe Generale The Future Is You Foundation will support the two free and certified "Commis de Cuisine" professional qualification courses over the next three years. The "short" course includes cooking classes (400 hours), French classes for professional purposes (180 hours), personalised support to enable each student to develop his or her professional project (20 hours) and an apprenticeship. The "long" training course is organised over thirteen months: 1 month of preparation (French as a foreign language, individual coaching) then 12 months in a company 75% of the time, and in technical training, French and coaching 25% of the time. This training course will be reserved mainly for people under 29 years of age.
