Mission
The Social Programs team is committed to helping a wide variety of populations access high-quality job training, including the unemployed, people with disabilities, refugees, and inmates.
Programs focus on developing job skills in high demand in the digital economy and ensuring that trainees are successfully placed in the workforce. They work closely with government bodies, local authorities, and private organizations, all of which play a vital role in supporting this objective.
Roles
What kind of roles can you see in this team?
Public program managers: They are responsible for sourcing opportunities for new social programs, designing proposals to public or private financing bodies (Pôle emploi, Regions, foundations, etc.), and following the social programs with the Student team.
Regional social programs director: This role focuses on building a strong and positive image of OpenClassrooms by local authorities and partners as well as sourcing local social programs, helping the team to close them, and overseeing their implementation.

Collaboration With Other Teams
This team is at the heart of OpenClassrooms, collaborating with every department from Learning and Customer Success to Tech and Product.
The team collaborates with Learning to build the perfect learning and mentoring content, with Finance to write budgets, with the Students team to identify and onboard candidates - and possibly with every other team in OpenClassrooms for the biggest social programs!
In March 2019, Mounir Mahjoubi, secretary in charge of digital, happily sponsored the partnership between OpenClassrooms and Deliveroo. Thanks to Level up, riders will have free access to OpenClassrooms' Premium pass, which provides access to the entire catalog of courses.
