How it works
A local partner who worked on supporting young people seeking employment wished to do something to improve their success rate when they find a job. To address this, a boardgame has been created to give jobseekers the opportunity to test their knowledge and their personal skills relating to the world of work in a group environment. Each game’s participant is put in the position of a potential job interview candidate and every action during the game will change his or her level of employability with the recruiter. This game gives to each player (from 6 to 12 players) the opportunity to use their abilities in different types of tests: knowledge quiz, logic exercise, reflection… What happens in the game reflects the participants attitude and behaviour in real life. The game can be used in the workplace, on returning to employment, on its own or integrated into a larger path to employment action. Used since 2008 in more than 300 organisations, the game was updated in 2019 due to changes in the work code (France) but also to modernize some of the tests and update the game itself.
