Résumé

Long-term job seekers (LTJS) see their chances of finding a job diminish as their period of non-employment increases. In France, only 43% of them manage to find a job after a professional training. We are investigating the factors likely to promote perceived support during guidance and return to employment, via a mixed survey methodology. We demonstrate the central role of physical and frequent support, as well as the mediating role of perceived support towards return to employment. Perceived support latter fosters motivation, confidence and perseverance of the LTJS, in their effort to finding a job.
