The CCI Nice Côte d’Azur, the Chamber of Trades and Crafts of the Provence Alpes-Côte d’Azur Region, the Chamber of Agriculture, and the Academic Inspectorate are launching the 12th edition of Apprenticeship Month.
During this period, all these institutions aim to promote alternating training methods and, in particular, apprenticeship through awareness, information, and efforts to bridge the professional and educational worlds.
The keys to its success: alignment with market needs and a professional path valued within the educational system itself.
While Germany, Austria, and Switzerland are often seen as examples in Europe, in France, despite proactive policies targeting such programs for many years, it still struggles to attract interest.
A schedule of activities is planned for the coming days:
The Apprenticeship and Work-Study Fair, on March 18 and 19. With over 2,800 visitors and 50 exhibitors in 2015, the Apprenticeship and Work-Study Fair for this 2nd edition offers the opportunity to meet, over 2 days, Apprentice Training Centers and educational institutions offering training under apprenticeship and professionalization contracts.
