HERO YOUTH 2024

We believe in youth

L'Oréal Groupe's global program, L'Oréal For Youth (L4Y), strives to create a world where all young people have equal opportunities for education and employment. By fostering a supportive ecosystem, L4Y bridges the gap between school and work, equipping youth from diverse backgrounds with the knowledge, guidance, and networks they need to thrive in the job market.

EMPLOYABILITY

L’Oréal For Youth was created to combat youth unemployment.

There is a gap between formal education and the job market, especially for those who don’t have access to top educational institutions. Upskilling is essential to promote employability, and we want to prepare the youth to unlock their potential for their future.

Over 100,000 young people reached by employability actions in 2023

This includes young people who:

  • Attended our masterclasses;
  • Have been coached;
  • Have been mentored by L’Oréal leaders;
  • Participated in case studies, hackathons or business competitions.
