Discrimination in Hiring: How Can You Overcome It When Applying for an Internship, a Work-Study Program, or a Job?

Opening remarks by Agnès Fichard-Carroll, Vice President for Academic Affairs and Student Life.

Moderator: Mélanie Charpentier, journalist.

Featuring:

• David Rohi, Regional Program Officer for Occitanie at the Defender of Rights.
• Bénédicte Luporsi, Chief Human Resources Officer at the University of Montpellier.

In France, access to employment is sometimes hindered by discrimination based on a candidate’s origin, age, gender, or personal circumstances. These illegal practices have harmful consequences on the professional and personal lives of the victims. What legal protection is available to a candidate who has been discriminated against, and how can they assert their rights? What steps are employers taking to ensure equal opportunity in their hiring processes? What are the best practices for writing job applications and succeeding in job interviews?

These are just some of the questions our partners will address during this roundtable discussion.

Open only toUM students and staff.
