Diversity, inclusion and equal opportunities
42i
42 pursues an active and ambitious policy to promote diversity and inclusion. As a leading institution in coding education, 42 is committed to equity and inclusivity: embracing all abilities, genders, and sexual, social, cultural, and intergenerational orientations.
42i is the inclusion and equal opportunity program of 42 Paris. It targets 1,500 individuals distanced from employment and professional opportunities in the tech sector. This initiative supports students of all ages who face precariousness, vulnerability, or social exclusion. A dedicated team of nine full-time professionals supports these participants to ensure their success. It represents the most significant inclusion project ever implemented by a private higher education institution in France.
This five-year plan strengthens citizenship and solidarity among the students of the school. It has received financial and institutional support from numerous partners through specific projects: the City of Paris via the FSE-REACT program (42Cohésion), the Paris Code initiative (BornToCode, 42PourTous), the Île-de-France Region through the Regional Skills Investment Plan (42ForAJOB). The Safran Corporate Foundation is also an active private partner committed to helping excluded young people.
A project co-funded by the FSE+ and operated by DRIEETS Île-de-France is currently underway. 42ForYOUTH is a reintegration initiative aimed at individuals under 30 living in the Île-de-France region. It combines proactive outreach to recruit participants with tailored support to overcome barriers they face. The objective is to help participants build a professional project and a life plan to maximize their employability, either through training at 42 or other partner programs.
Together with its partners, 42 fosters a fairer and more virtuous tech industry. It contributes to improving and sustaining its ecosystem through responsible practices.
