Les transports scolaires concernent 170 000 enfants de la région, de la maternelle au lycée. Midi Libre – RICHARD DE HULLESSEN

In the Montpellier Metropolis, recruitment is carried out by Courriers du Midi and Transdev with open days on February 3 and 7. The plus: the training and the license are financed. 

Currently in Occitanie, there is a shortage of 300 school bus drivers. 300, this is the number of people that the sector will recruit in the days to come. The icing on the cake is that training will be covered, whether you have a license or not. 

Since 2022, according to the Occitanie Region, 1,500 positions have already been filled, including 750 by job seekers. A new wave is therefore initiated, again by the Region, with its partners: the National Federation of Passenger Transport (FNTV), the European Road Transport Organization (Otre) and France Travail (formerly Pole emploi). This is to transport the 170,000 students, from kindergarten to high school, in Occitanie on a daily basis.

Two open days for Transdev, one for Courriers du Midi 

In the metropolis of Montpellier: two companies are affected by these hires: Courriers du Midi, based at Prés-d'Arènes, 9 rue de l'Abrivado, and Transdev, installed on avenue Louis-Blériot, in Castelnau-le-Lez. As part of its hiring, open days and information days are planned for the sixty school transporters in the region starting this Saturday, February 3 and Wednesday, February 7. If Transdev will participate on both dates, Courriers du Midi will only be accessible on Wednesday July 7. 

A toll-free number (0 800 706 707) is also available as well as&#39 ;a website, that of the Region, with a slogan: "Funded training, guaranteed employment".
