We believe in youth
L'Oréal Groupe's global program, L'Oréal For Youth (L4Y), strives to create a world where all young people have equal opportunities for education and employment. By fostering a supportive ecosystem, L4Y bridges the gap between school and work, equipping youth from diverse backgrounds with the knowledge, guidance, and networks they need to thrive in the job market.
EMPLOYABILITY
Launched in 2021, L’Oréal For Youth was created to combat youth unemployment.
Since there is a gap between the formal education and the job market, especially for those who don’t have access to top educational institutions, upskilling is essential to promote employability. This is why we want to prepare the youth to unlock their potential for their future.
Over 100,000 young people reached by employability actions year on year since 2022 and continue to do so in 2025.
This includes young people who:
- Attended our masterclasses;
- Have been coached;
- Have been mentored by L’Oréal leaders;
- Participated in case studies, hackathons or business competitions.
PROFESSIONAL OPPORTUNITIES
L’Oréal For Youth creates real professional opportunities for people under 30.
After young people have been affected by the socio-economic crisis due to the pandemic, youth unemployment is one of the largest concerns for Gen Z. Companies, like L’Oréal, have an important role to play, so every year we commit to creating 25,000 professional opportunities to youth all over the world.
Over 25,000 professional opportunities created for people under 30 year on year since 2022 and continue to do so in 2025.
This includes young people being developed through::

- Other work-based learning opportunities.
