Discovering the careers of tomorrow, on the road to transition. The initiative brings students to learn about climatic questions, sustainable and smart cities, and future professions.

As part of the 2023 Ecological and Digital Transition Festival, the Your Future Job careers forum was in full swing from 13 to 15 November 2023. Taking the example of RESPONSE as the first chapter of the energy transition in European cities, more than 800 secondary school students and job seekers from Côte-d’Or registered to take part in the many workshops organized in Fontaine d’Ouche.

Immersive, fun experiences were on offer to raise awareness among as many people as possible of the professions that will shape our future. Local schools and businesses provided specific workshops for raising awareness about the upcoming need for skills in Dijon and Europe.

According to ADEME (French Environment and Energy Management Agency), between now and 2050, over 900,000 jobs will be created in sectors such as construction, transport, industry, and energy, all closely linked to the ecological transition. This is the major challenge that Dijon, one of RESPONSE’s Lighthouse cities, is committed to meeting.
