Paris – Three large companies signed a pact with the government Wednesday to promote the professional integration of residents of priority neighborhoods, who "are twice as likely to have access to a job interview", found an AFP journalist.
  

The Adecco interim group, the Regional Public Works Federation (FRTP) of Ile-de-France and Accor Hotel Group are the first three to have signed this PAQTE (Pact with Neighborhoods for All Companies) with the State at a ceremony at the Ministry of Territorial Cohesion.

The hotel and catering group is committed to recruiting 15% of apprentices from neighborhoods, while offering 400 places of internship.
