Ecole de la 2e Chance en Savoie

What Ecole de la 2e Chance en Savoie does

Ecole de la 2e Chance en Savoie (E2C73) is a French non-profit association (loi 1901) founded in 2011 and headquartered in Voglans, Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes. It is one of 152 schools in the national Réseau E2C France network and operates under French Education Code Article L 214-14. The organization delivers free vocational training and individualized learning pathways (4–24 months, averaging 6.1–7 months) to 16–25-year-olds who have left the school system without qualifications, supporting roughly 116 trainees per year (81 new entries in 2023) with a three-pillar model combining skill acquisition, corporate immersion through 1–3 week unpaid internships, and active-life support. Each trainee is assigned three dedicated referents (educational, pedagogical, insertion) and the program guarantees a minimum 12-month post-completion follow-up; 2024 outcomes include 80% positive insertion, 90% youth satisfaction, and 336 internships completed.

E2C73's revenue model is almost entirely public-funded: primary streams are Région Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes subsidies, European Social Fund (FSE) co-financing under the 2021-2027 'Emploi et Inclusion' program, Grand Chambéry contributions, and the Taxe d'Apprentissage (companies' 0.68% payroll contribution, with 13% freely allocable). Trainees receive monthly stipends from the Region (€224.68–€769.49 depending on age and situation) managed through Docaposte. Supplementary revenue comes from corporate mécénat (eligible for 60–66% tax deduction) and small donations from service clubs such as Rotary Annecy Rive Gauche. Notable sub-programs include the YOLO project (with Cap Emploi, for youth in rupture), Hello'quence eloquence workshops (with Université Savoie Mont Blanc), the 'Ça va de soi' personal development series, and ongoing partnerships with Maison des Adolescents de Chambéry for psychosocial support.

The organization is mid-execution of a major relocation planned for summer 2026, moving from Voglans to a rehabilitated former France Travail building at 85 Rue Auguste Mudry in Chambéry (€600,000+ budget, €400,000 committed from Région and Grand Chambéry), developed in partnership with Cristal Habitat and Kayak Architecture. It is governed by a Bureau led by President Olivier Tiradon and Director Vincent Jaeg, with approximately 20 employees (leadership, administration, pedagogical staff, communications, and trainers with reference roles). Customer acquisition is 47% institutionally driven through Mission Locale Jeunes de Chambéry, supplemented by France Travail referrals and direct self-application, with employment outcomes improving from 13% in 2020 to 56% in 2023.
