Marc-Antoine Gerbe: “Come and see how to find your destiny, here or elsewhere! »

Thursday February 8, from 8:30 a.m. to 1 p.m., the training director and the AFPA teams will hold an open day presenting the training and values ​​of this institution created in 1949.

It is a pure product of the association for adult professional training (Afpa). And on Thursday, during the open day starting at 8:30 a.m., Marc-Antoine Gerbe's enthusiasm for describing and extolling the merits of the institution will certainly not weaken. Singularity of these “afpaiens” companions, always quick to return what was once offered to them. And as a symbol, the doors wide open to all the workshops will not fail to underline the spirit of training focused on the mastery of knowledge aided by work-study training. But also a project built on taking responsibility, in a support component for returning to employment via professionalization contracts.

With around thirty training courses offered (from the age of 16, on the simple condition of being registered with France Travail, formerly Pôle emploi), paid and tailored as closely as possible to the needs of 300 companies in the area. in Alesia, Afpa trains and supports nearly 800 people each year. And this in complete discretion on the heights of the Rochebelle district.

"Come see how to find your destiny, here or elsewhere! insists, enthusiastically, Marc-Antoine Gerbe. What makes Afpa unique is that we are on the job, with a technical platform where we work with our hands. There is little theory and a lot of practice in a work-study framework. We also work on interpersonal skills by individualizing the courses. If the diploma is important, what is even more important is finding a job." 
The merits of an approach validated by more than 80% of permanent contracts signed at the end of the training. "The application period, from three to seven weeks, in the service of the company that the trainees have chosen and found themselves, this serves as a trial period for employers . Once their certification has been validated, they are then integrated into the company. The territory is dynamic and Afpa must help it to shine by supporting employment. This is our ambition."
