S'ORIENTER ENSEMBLE

What S'ORIENTER ENSEMBLE does

S'ORIENTER ENSEMBLE is a French non-profit association (Association loi 1901) founded in 2017 by Pierre Soulié, headquartered in Gournay-sur-Marne (Seine-Saint-Denis). It designs and delivers career and educational orientation programs for middle school students (6ème to 3ème, including SEGPA and UPE2A cohorts) across the Créteil academy in Ile-de-France, with a regional antenna in Occitanie opened in 2022. Programs are built around a methodology that combines three knowledge domains — the professional world, training pathways, and self-awareness — and are delivered through playful, in-school and youth-structure interventions.

The association's core product is the 'Kit Informations voie Pro post 3ème', comprising a large-format Panorama poster (1.5m × 1.2m), the 'Annuaire des formations' directory (updated for the 2025-2026 school year and distributed free in PDF and paper form), and QR code-enabled card games. Around this toolkit, four program modules are delivered: Sensibilisation (3-hour awareness for 4ème-3ème), Stage de découverte (15-hour multi-day program with CFA visit for 3ème), Découverte (2-hour domain exploration for 6ème-5ème), and Transmission (3-hour methodology transfer to teachers, parents, and youth workers). Programs are facilitated by the staff team augmented by Service Civique volunteers. No mobile application is provided; distribution is web-based plus physical deployment in schools.

The association does not sell to beneficiaries; all programs are free to young people. Funding is a multi-source mix of public subsidies and grants (Region Ile-de-France, Seine-Saint-Denis and Val d'Oise departments, ANCT, prefectures, municipalities of Noisy-le-Grand and Champigny-sur-Marne), EU co-financing under the FSE+ program (since 2023), corporate mécénat (VINCI, Egis), and a strategic partnership with Alliance pour l'éducation – United Way. The association employs approximately 13 people, has served about 12,000 young people in 2025, and reports 90% beneficiary satisfaction and 90% perceived usefulness on orientation outcomes.

Scale indicators4 records

Recent moves7 records

Expansion highlights6 records

Direct peers

• Article 1: Non-profit (formerly Frateli) supporting equal opportunity in education through mentoring and orientation for students from priority backgrounds. Comparable because both organizations operate in the youth education/orientation space targeting French priority-area students.
• Entreprendre Pour Apprendre: French federation running mini-enterprise and entrepreneurship education programs for middle and high school students. Comparable because founder Pierre Soulié previously worked there and both organizations target career awareness among French collège/lycée students.
• Crée ton Avenir: French non-profit developing programs to help young people discover professional pathways. Closely comparable because Pierre Soulié created all of Crée ton Avenir's programs before founding S'orienter Ensemble in 2017, making it a near-sibling organization.
• Chemins d'avenirs: Non-profit supporting rural and priority-area students with educational and career orientation. Comparable because both organizations focus on widening professional horizons for under-served French middle and high school students through school-based interventions.
• Tous en Stage: Platform promoting workplace discovery internships (stages de 3ème) for French middle school students. Directly comparable because both organizations address the same pain point — lack of professional discovery opportunities for collégiens.
• Junior Achievement France: Non-profit delivering entrepreneurship and career-readiness programs to French youth. Directly comparable because S'orienter Ensemble's founder Pierre Soulié previously worked at Junior Achievement in Indonesia, and both organizations deploy facilitator-led orientation content in schools.

Broad incumbents

• Onisep: French national information service on education and careers, providing directories and guidance content. Comparable as a broader incumbent publishing training-pathway information (similar in spirit to S'orienter Ensemble's Annuaire), but operating at national scale as a public agency.

Others

• L'Alliance pour l'éducation - United Way: Strategic partner operating the 'Défi Jeunesse' program with S'orienter Ensemble. Comparable as an ecosystem participant in the French youth education support landscape and a shared partner of corporate sponsors.
