Wanted by the City in partnership with France Travail and the local youth mission Petite Camargue Héraultaise, the event took place on the square and passageways of the arenas.

Jobs by the dozen

A show which greatly benefited from new technologies and allowed young people to “touch” trades. This was the case for the world of industry. It was, for example, possible to virtually learn how to perform a delicate weld. Those who moved into the personal assistance sector were able to benefit from simulators that reproduce certain disabilities linked to aging (osteoarthritis, degenerative eye diseases…).

A largely positive outcome

The young people were also able to learn how to operate, always virtually, a mechanical excavator or take the place of a bus driver. To the point of arousing vocations ? This is likely if we are to believe the mostly positive reactions of the young people who participated in the day. The only disappointment for those young people who thought they would be able to meet companies likely to recruit apprentices, in commerce or telephony. In vain. This is perhaps a subject for reflection for the 4th edition…
