This is Lucas, 21, apprentice.
A student at the Paris Bakery and Pastry School, he completed his work-study program in a high place of gastronomy.
The Presidency of the Senate.
It is he and four other "kids" in training who bear the heavy responsibility of concocting, under the direction of a master pastry chef, best worker in France, the desserts of Gérard Larcher.
Big pressure.
But what a business card!
At the same time, these days, we are seeing a proliferation of young people in offices.
Within the limits authorized by health constraints, Gérard Larcher opened the doors of the Senate.
If you are applying for an internship at the Luxembourg Palace, you are very likely to be told yes.
Why?
Because the president of the upper house is worried about the youth.
At the time of teleworking and the drastic limitation of the number of employees present in companies, it has become the cross and the banner to find an internship!
However, this first experience is one of the main entry points into working life.
Problem: how to revive the economy in the months and years to come if a whole generation has missed the boat of the first job?
Gérard Larcher therefore puts his institution to work while sending a political message.
The "Covid generation", the target of a double blade, psychological and economic, will weigh heavily during the next electoral deadlines.
Old truck driver who smells of the country as one scents the game trail, Gérard Larcher knows, young people and their future will be at the heart of the presidential campaign in 2022. In the meantime, he compliments Lucas, who blushes behind his mask: unique paris-brest!
