Every year, the Association of Best Craftsmen of France, sponsored by the Ministry of National Education, the Ministry of Craftsmanship, and with the participation of Professional Organizations, organizes a competition to reward the best apprentices.
The objective is to aid in professional training, to participate in the promotion of trades and quality workmanship, to develop the apprentices’ pride and attachment to their work, and to ensure they receive due recognition for their efforts. The Chamber of Commerce and Industry also serves this purpose.
Training and apprenticeship are essential to meet the needs of businesses, traders, and their associations. The Nice Cรดte d’Azur Chamber of Commerce and Industry, which manages several professional training institutions including the Automotive Training Institute and the Business Training Institute, is a key player in this field and once again sponsors this event.
With pride, Mr. Gรฉrard CIPRE called upon various apprentices in the presence of their teachers and parents. This year, the Alpes-Maritimes department was again highly rewarded, with 11 gold medals, 11 silver medals, and 17 bronze medals awarded to our local apprentices (including 1 silver and 1 bronze outside the competition). It is worth noting that the gold medalists will participate in the national finals in Paris.
The awardees also received numerous gifts from professional organizations.
