“Expanding the field of opportunities by signing the Companies & Neighborhoods Charter”

Priority neighborhoods

Signing the Companies & Neighborhoods Charter, a symbol of support for priority neighborhoods, was an obvious choice for Geic BTP Hérault.

“Located in Montpellier’s La Mosson district, in Montpellier’s reduced tax zone, we already participate in all inclusion committees set up in priority neighborhoods.” 40-60% of the employees on vocational contracts are from those areas, “compared to the national average of 10%.”

It’s a small structure (with just four employees), but big ambitions. Geic BTP Hérault encourages its member companies to sign the Charter, which seeks to initiate innovative actions to promote economic, social, and cultural development in priority districts, including accepting interns, speaking at local middle schools to present various vocations, organizing site visits, and more.

In short: “Everything that can help open the minds of young people and open their horizons,” highlights Sarah Sanchez. “Even if the goal is to help people become employed, the Charter above all focuses on a voluntary and creativity-based approach helping to expand the field of opportunities.”
