Cinquante-quatre des 137 diplômés de 2023 étaient présents, ce mercredi 17 janvier 2024, pour recevoir leur précieux document. 

In 2023, 137 students from the Henry-Giral de Mende apprentice training center (CFA) obtained their diploma in different fields (bakery, pastry making, construction, electricity, hotel and catering, etc.). The greeting ceremony of the Chamber of Trades and Crafts of Lozère (CMA 48), this Wednesday, January 17, 2024, in the CFA gymnasium, was an opportunity to congratulate them.

Fifty-four of them had made the trip to receive their precious document in front of a packed audience. "We wanted to promote them all, while this diploma marks their entry into professional life", expressed Florence Vignal, the president of the CMA 48.

"This year, I also want to focus on apprenticeship teachers, continued the president, during her introductory speech. This is a little-known and little-valued function. It is thanks to them if our students are trained and if the generations of artisans are renewed. They take these young people as they are. They entrust them with part of their business and their personal history. For all these reasons, let them be thanked. I hope that in the future they will have a real status."

The ceremony ended with a buffet dinner, obviously prepared by current CFA students.
