Apprenticeship, a little-known but recognized springboard for access to working life

The partners, attack for Apprenticeship Day this Friday, March 29 in Lunel. A.C.

Friday March 29, the 3rd edition of the Apprenticeship and Career Discovery Day takes place again in Lunel, on the square and in the passageways of the San Juan arenas.

Some define it as a sacred path to integrate into active life. "A real springboard", we heard in the ranks of the organizers during the recent presentation of the Apprenticeship and Career Discovery Day which will take place on the square in front of the Lunel arenas and in their corridors on Friday March 29.

A meeting and recruitment tool

With the same voice, the municipal assistant for children and youth Sonia Mokaddem, the director of France Travail Didier Sultana, the municipal councilor for crafts and commerce Pascal Chabert and the deputy vice-president for integration and employment of Lunel Agglo and president of the Petite Camargue Héraultaise local youth mission Patrick Mary presented this event which, from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. and from 1:30 p.m. to 4:30 p.m., will highlight the objectives of this diploma training course.

Figures and information

The age range of the public who can apply for apprenticeship is 16-29 years. On the other hand, there is no age limit for the public people with disabilities, creating a business or a high-level athlete. It is also accessible to young people aged 15 and over, having completed their secondary school cycle.

60 stands will be set up in the arenas on Friday March 29, including 38 apprentice training centers (CFA).

Finally, know that apprenticeship can allow you to acquire a profession and a CAPau Bac + 5 diploma (Master, engineer…).

Discoveries and demonstrations of professions will therefore animate "this 3rd edition which will be as rich in meetings as in sharing and which will help restore the image of learning which can make it possible to achieve something that few people know , a course up to Bac + 5", insisted Sonia Mokaddem.

"Vector of social cohesion"

"It’is a truly essential vector of social cohesion and the promotion of equal opportunities", added the partners, happy and confident about the figures which continue to increase.

"In 2022, the first vintage attracted 419 young people. In 2023, there were 532, indicated Patrick Mary. This clearly proves the interest in this branch."

Restore the image of this training system

A fantastic meeting and recruitment tool, this meeting also bodes well for restoring the image of this training system "which still suffers today from a lack of awareness of the public who can access it, regretted Didier Sultana, before announcing, more confidently: In order to remedy this, the Day of the& rsquo;apprenticeship is a real lever both for companies seeking employment and for job candidates." In order to activate it for a tailor-made immersion with training, several areas are offered to the public this Friday, March 29.

Sixty stands including 38 CFA

Several stands – around sixty including 38 apprentice training centers (CFA) – will be installed in the passageways of the San Juan arenas and will promote various training courses and professions in fields such as construction and public works, hairdressing, aesthetics, sport, commerce, entertainment, the food industry, mechanics, the hotel industry, catering… hellip; to name just a few of the wide range that will be deployed that day.

A concrete discovery of professions

The Orientation Center of the Occitanie Region will also be present with, among other things, virtual reality headsets for better immersion. What, with other experiences to live and demonstrations to follow, discover the professions in concrete terms.

New features are also to be noted this year with the driving of construction machinery, the construction of a wall, the presence of a 14 m driving simulator bus, sessions on automobile mechanics, an aging simulator to raise awareness of personal care professions, as well as activities around commerce and tourism with, for example, reservation simulations.

A booklet for better guidance

Finally, a new edition of the welcome booklet will help the public, depending on their level of qualification, to move around the space dedicated to the event and to find the information more easily. stands that correspond to the expectations and needs of everyone, on one side or the other.

As a reminder, "companies that play the training game have much fewer recruitment problems". And he’s the “boss” from the Lunel branch of France Travail which says so. So Friday, everyone at your “posts” !
