The Paris Olympic Games 2024 are just around the corner and exciting opportunities are waiting for young people and students who wish to be part of it. One of the main missions of the Paris Olympic and Paralympic Committee is to engage the younger generation in making the Games an unforgettable experience for all. With various roles and positions available, the Paris Olympic Games 2024 offer a unique opportunity for young people and students to get involved in sports, culture, and sustainability, and to gain valuable experience for their future careers. In this article, we will explore the missions open to young people and students for the Paris Olympic Games 2024, and how they can make the most of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
With just 500 days to go before the start of the Paris Olympic and Paralympic Games in 2024, preparations are well underway to ensure that spectators are welcomed and that the sporting venues are secure. The numbers expected to attend are staggering, with 15 million spectators and thousands of athletes making this the largest event ever to be organised in France. The organisers have designed two mechanisms specifically aimed at young people and students to help them become part of the planning and organisation behind the scenes.
The first initiative is supported by the Ministry in charge of Higher Education, which aims to recruit 3,000 students to help with the security operations. Training will be provided, which will be paid for and last for 106 hours over three weeks. This mechanism also offers a professional card, valid until October 2025 that can be used for recruitment for additional sports and cultural events. Even foreign national students may apply for this initiative, providing that they can prove they have reached a B1 level of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages.
The second initiative is implemented directly by Paris 2024 and is open to all who wish to volunteer for the Olympic and Paralympic Games in Paris. The organisers are keen to stress that this is the “opportunity of a lifetime”, giving volunteers the chance to become the face of the Games and experience an intense adventure in teams. Volunteers will be given positions of responsibility helping to ensure the smooth running of the Games, including the reception and guidance of spectators, helping organise the athletes and offering support to the organisers. Finally, the initiative offers a unique opportunity to experience the special atmosphere of the Games and to meet people from all around the world. With two such initiatives in place, it is safe to say that the Paris Olympic and Paralympic games are in good hands.
In conclusion, the Paris Olympic Games 2024 are not only a world-class sporting event but also an opportunity for young people and students to get involved and make a difference. From volunteering to interning, there are numerous ways to contribute to the success of the event while gaining valuable experience and skills. Whether you’re passionate about sports, event management, or community service, don’t miss this chance to be a part of history in the making. Apply for the available missions and start your journey towards an unforgettable experience that will open doors to new opportunities and friendships!
