This Friday, April 10, the 5th edition of the Job Discovery, Training and Apprenticeship Day took place.
In the passageways of the San Juan arenas this Friday, April 10, the young visitors no longer knew where to turn. Training organizations, high schools, specialized schools and other employment stakeholders gathered for the 5th day of discovery of professions, training and apprenticeship.
In total, more than 60 stands recreating a real orienteering village welcomed 659 visitors throughout the day.
Gain self-confidence through learning
On their stand, Anne-Cécile Arrault and Laurence Valero, training advisors at the Purple campus in Nîmes-Marguerittes, provide information to young people curious about their training, provided in around ten sectors. “We have a lot of young people who have dropped out of school who come to see usexplains Laurence Valero. They are in demand for professional training, and apprenticeship is a natural path for them. The pace of one week of lessons per month and three in the company is ideal.” Another major argument, the Purple campus has a professional integration rate of 91%. “A young person in apprenticeship gains self-confidence. He becomes more independent and matures”complete Anne-Cécile Arrault.
Like every year, the demonstration stands are among the most popular. There are tastings, mechanics, welding of cauldrons in virtual reality, hairdressing, aesthetics, driving simulation and many others.
On the side of the Victor-Hugo high school, it is the students themselves who present the training. Among them, Sohan and his friend exhibit the robot they imagined as part of the robotics competition. “They designed and programmed everything,” explains their teacher. “This clearly demonstrates the versatility of the training.”
Become a content creator on social networks
In the middle of the track, the ARTFX animation and special effects school based in Montpellier came to present its new training focused on the communication sector. “Content creator social networks is a profession of the futuredetails Marine Charny, in charge of communications. Companies are looking to promote their activity on social networks and they need people trained in shooting, dynamic editing, lighting and adapting to the codes of social networks.”
In the parking lot at the end of the morning, the Occitanie Region’s mobile orientation center had not yet received many visits. The fault perhaps lies in its installation outside the arenas. However, the advisors were ready to welcome visitors with fun tools such as orientation questionnaires, professional testimonials and virtual reality headsets.
Next job meeting on Thursday April 30 at Espace Castel with the summer jobs forum.
