Their names are Maëlle, Adrien, Emma, they are students in psychology, real estate or mechanics and production.
And they address themselves, with their own words, straightforwardly, to confined high school students.
And for some a little panicked when it comes to making essential career choices for their future professional life.
Twice a week, the YouTube channel To each his own future broadcasts short videos dedicated to different training courses, giving a voice to young people who experience these courses from within.
The format is simple, impactful.
And if the idea is so effective, it is undoubtedly that it was born in the heads of young designers, themselves students.
“We try to take a different look,” explains Théo Plantecoste, who created the concept.
"It was very complicated for me the subject of orientation"
This 19-year-old inhabitant of Parmain is in audiovisual editing and post-production.
Last February, he realizes the galley in which high school students find themselves, who must learn to live in the midst of the restrictions imposed by the health crisis.
"I discovered that, from now on, all open house operations in schools were done remotely, in a virtual manner," explains Théo.
This pivotal moment of the year of the bac, the Val-d'Oisien remembers it as if it were yesterday.
“When I was in high school, it was very complicated for me the subject of guidance, he admits.
Video was my passion, but it took a long time to think I could make a profession out of it.
And then, I won competitions with my productions and I started looking for training, but it was not at all easy.

Théo remembers going to the open house at the school he is currently enrolled in.
At the time, the click occurred during the exchanges he was able to have with students on site.

“They are the ones who tell us about both the good and the bad sides of the sectors.

About thirty volunteers
Théo then decides to produce videos to give them a voice.

A studio is set up in Théo's garage, who brings in his first witnesses.
Like Adrien, a friend from L'Isle-Adam, who didn't hesitate for a minute.
"It should not really be obvious for high school students at the moment," emphasizes the one who is in BTS real estate professions.
I find it interesting to talk about ways that are not usually put forward.
In addition, I am rather proud of my career.
I have an STMG baccalaureate which is a rather frowned upon path whereas, personally, I have drawn a lot of benefits from it.

Two lozenges each week
The video pellets edited by Theo can partially compensate for this lack.
"I hope it will help high school students," he breathes in any case.
Since February 22, he has been putting two interviews online per week on Mondays and Fridays at 6 p.m.
And the association has not planned to stop there.
On the contrary, it is expanding its panel of student witnesses.
If they can no longer go through Théo's garage, the Val-d'Oisien and his friends also do remote maintenance.
“We even made a video with someone who was on Erasmus!
