Headline

TF1 Foundation is one of the proudest achievements of the Group and its people. For over fifteen years, we have been striving for equality of opportunity. We have seen youngsters for whom the TF1 Tower was an unreachable dream grow and blossom. The Foundation has been a springboard for them. With financial and staff support, integrating young people into the world of work is at the heart of what we do. The Foundation also plays a major role in educating young and old alike about the media, in a world of proliferating news sources. We are committed to supporting initiatives that address these two key social issues: career opportunities, and media education.

TF1 FOUNDATION IS HIRING

We are convinced that hiring from a wide range of backgrounds enriches our business. For over fifteen years, we have been fighting all forms of discrimination and promoting equal opportunities. If you have a passion for the media, are aged between 18 and 30, and come from a deprived urban neighbourhood, an isolated rural community or outlying suburb, we want to hear from you! We are offering you a life-enhancing experience through a two-year work/study contract. Whether you’re interested in news, communication, TV production or advertising, there’s a role for you. Applications for the next graduating class will open in spring 2025.

WHAT WE DO

CAREER OPPORTUNITIES

TF1 Foundation has been striving for equal opportunities since 2008. Every year, we go out to deprived urban neighbourhoods, isolated rural communities and outlying suburbs to meet young people, and encourage them to sign a two-year apprenticeship contract with us. It’s a first step into the media world, and an opportunity to learn by working alongside industry professionals. The Foundation offers them enhanced support: mentoring, teambuilding, inspiring meeting with their honorary godfather or godmother, assistance with housing, ...

MEDIA EDUCATION

Media education is another of our priorities at TF1 Foundation. We want even the very young to realise how important it is to be well informed, and to better understand how news media work. Our news teams partner with media educator CLEMI to hold “News Encounters”, where we encourage school and college students to think critically, distinguish real from fake, and better understand the mechanisms of making and broadcasting news. These sessions – in Paris, and sometimes in the regions – address intergenerational themes like media treatment of environmental issues, fake news and the importance of fact-checking, and the AI boom and its impact on news broadcasting. In parallel, our “Drama encounters” sessions offer young people an insight into TV drama and related challenges around creativity, technical skills, diversity and inclusion.

Our partners

Centre de Formation et de Perfectionnement des Journalistes (CFPJ)

Every year, in partnership with the journalist training college Centre de Formation et de Perfectionnement des Journalistes, the TF1 Foundation offers a two-year apprenticeship to ten young recruits, who are trained by our News division. Since the TF1 Foundation was created, more than 120 youngsters have joined the TF1 group. And out of the first eight intakes, 93% found a job (52% with the TF1 group).

IAE France

IAE FRANCE is the leading public network of higher education and research in Management, with 38 schools throughout the country. Thanks to this partnership, the Foundation continues its mission of professional integration and equal opportunities.

Ville de Boulogne-Billancourt

Thanks to the City of Boulogne-Billancourt, young people supported by the Foundation can have access to student accommodation close to the TF1 tower.

La Chance

La Chance promotes diversity in the media. Every year, its 350 journalists work pro bono to prepare around 80 scholarship holders for competitions to enter the schools of journalism in Bordeaux, Paris, Marseille, Toulouse, Strasbourg, Grenoble and Rennes. The TF1 Foundation also supports three young people from the association.

Journalism Conference in Tours

The TF1 Foundation is a partner of the Journalism Conference in Tours. Every year we sponsor the EMI prize and fund a school or university media/news education initiative. The Conference is backed by all those working in the industry and respects the freedom of all. Above all, the Conference provides a venue for free-form conversations and discussions on journalism and its practice.

CLEMI

CLEMI (the centre for media and news education) is responsible for media and news education throughout the French education system. Building on strong roots in the teaching community, its mission is to promote pluralism in the use of sources of news in education, with the aim of promoting better comprehension among the world’s school children. Partnering with CLEMI, the TF1 Foundation organises “Drama Encounters”, “News Encounters” and “Press Week”.

Emmaüs Alternatives

Each year the TF1 Foundation teams up with Emmaüs Alternatives in a winter campaign called “Hiver Solidaire” to raise funds among Group employees. The mission of Emmaüs Alternatives is to fight injustice and various forms of exclusion. Every day it takes in and supports the most deprived, helps them become more independent and find work. As a springboard to work, Emmaüs Alternatives aims to create alternatives to the street, precarious living and unemployment.

Lumières sur l'info

Lumières de l'info is an independent media education association with professional journalists. The TF1 Foundation is supporting the TropMytho News Truck, which will make an 18-stop tour of the Ile-de-France and Oise regions, starting in October 2024.
