What Team4Job does

Team4Job is a Belgian non-profit association (asbl) founded in 2016 that operates a free, personalized 6-month mentoring programme connecting job seekers in the Brussels-Capital Region with professionally active volunteer mentors. Each mentor-mentee pair meets at least twice monthly at the mentor's workplace, supported by complementary workshops and networking events. The organization serves individuals facing barriers to employment—primarily young people, low-qualified candidates (CESS maximum), and the long-term unemployed—drawing mentors from 600+ companies across 40+ industry sectors. Since inception, Team4Job has supported 2,800+ mentees and matched 1,817 pairs in its most recent 2020-2024 grant cycle, reporting a 77% positive outcome rate at 12 months (including 68% employment).

The organization has no proprietary technology platform; mentor-mentee matching is performed manually by a team of approximately 10 staff members led by co-founders Aurélie Deherve (CEO) and Géraldine Dantin (COO). Its core product is the Mentoring Programme, supplemented by add-on modules including Workshops, Networking Events, and a specialized Combo4You track. Program operations are concentrated at a coworking space in Silversquare Louise, Brussels.

Team4Job's revenue model is grant-driven rather than commercial. Primary funding comes from Actiris (Brussels public employment service) through competitive project calls, with the 2025-2028 cycle co-financed by the European Social Fund at €3,040,000 for 1,520 mentor-mentee pairs. Secondary revenue streams include corporate donations from partners such as Accenture, BNP Paribas Fortis, Proximus, Besix, and Michael Page, plus tax-deductible individual donations routed through the King Baudouin Foundation's 'Fonds des Amis de Team4Job.' The mentoring service is 100% free to all participants, and the organization is currently expanding operations to Wallonia under the 2025-2028 grant.

Direct peers

• Article 1: French non-profit offering mentoring and professional support to young people from modest backgrounds to access education and employment. Comparable free, mentor-led, public-funder-supported employment-access model.
• Mozaik RH: French social enterprise recruiting, training and supporting job seekers from under-represented backgrounds with mentoring/coaching for employment. Highly comparable mission (diversity + employment) and mentor-driven delivery model.
• Duo for a Job: Belgian non-profit pairing young job seekers (often with migrant background) with volunteer senior professional mentors. Operates in Belgium and selected EU cities, uses an almost identical 6-month mentoring model and partners with public employment services, making it the closest direct functional peer to Team4Job.
• Nos Quartiers ont des Talents (NQT): France-based non-profit providing free 6-month mentoring of young graduates from priority neighborhoods by experienced professionals. Shares Team4Job's volunteer-mentor, public-funder-plus-corporate funding mix, and outcome-driven employment mission.

Emerging players

• iCould: UK careers-education and information platform exposing young people to career paths and role models. Adjacent in mission (job-seeker empowerment) but uses content/online delivery rather than live 1:1 mentoring.
• Mentorloop: Mentoring software platform used by corporates and non-profits to run structured mentorship programmes. Relevant as a potential technology layer/adjacent player to Team4Job's currently manual matching model.

Broad incumbents

• Youth Business International (YBI): Global network supporting young entrepreneurs and job seekers via mentoring and peer networks; partners with corporations and public agencies. Comparable structure but enterprise/employment-support focus.
• The Prince's Trust: UK youth charity running employment, mentoring and enterprise programmes for disadvantaged young people. Operates at far larger scale, with corporate partnerships and government co-funding analogous to Team4Job's mix.
• Big Brothers Big Sisters International: Largest global youth-mentoring non-profit, supporting mentees across many domains including education-to-employment transitions. Same volunteer-mentor delivery model but broader youth-development remit rather than job placement specifically.
• Adecco Foundation / Fondation Adecco Group: Corporate foundation of a major staffing firm funding employment-readiness, mentoring and training programmes across Europe. Relevant as a larger, well-funded peer active in the same employment-access field.
