Sectors

Teaching & training

The Foundation reaffirms its commitment to young people by supporting students throughout their educational journey, notably through the awarding of scholarships. This support aims to promote access to education, provide young people with the means to fully achieve their academic and professional ambitions, and strengthen equal opportunities.
It also supports any educational project that contributes to training, encouraging, and inspiring young people, enabling them to thrive and develop their potential in an environment conducive to learning.
Furthermore, in close collaboration with a selected network of Jura-based companies, the Foundation works to facilitate students’ access to Master’s internships and to promote the transfer of technological innovations. This approach aims to create a concrete bridge between higher education, practical skills, and the regional economic ecosystem.
