Born in 2000 from a joint initiative by the National Education and MEDEF, the School-Enterprise Week is now part of the annual calendar of events organized in partnership with the professional world. It is part of the agreement signed on July 19, 2004, between the President of MEDEF and the Minister of National Education.
MEDEF Alpes-Maritimes and the Nice Academy, with the support of APRÉEAM, ensure the implementation of the operation at the departmental level.
This week highlights the existing partnership between businesses and educational institutions and promotes the actions carried out throughout the school year.
This 12th edition, which runs until November 25, is marked by a particular focus on Entrepreneurship.
After “Business and Citizenship” last year, the theme of entrepreneurship has been chosen for this 12th edition. Through this theme, several actions will be carried out during this week to inspire our children to embark on entrepreneurship.
This operation is an opportunity to foster exchanges between these two worlds and to highlight the actions of partnerships between educational institutions and businesses throughout the year.
Objectives: develop the links between education and the world of work and the links at all levels between education and the world of work.
Challenges: Today’s students are tomorrow’s entrepreneurs.
For school principals, teachers, and business leaders: discussing key professions and their developments.
• Business Visits
Businesses and educational institutions have been connected for on-site visits. Leaders will exchange and demonstrate their commitment with students on this theme.
The objective is to create a desire for entrepreneurship in students who will be tomorrow’s business leaders. Nearly 200 students from 10 secondary schools will visit 10 companies in the department.
• The Challenge
Several establishments will compete for the “School-Enterprise Week” Trophy. Each team will submit a file comprising an operational summary and a three-minute PowerPoint presentation. A jury will deliberate to select the top three projects.
• Visit to the Industria 2011 Trade Show
On Thursday, November 24, 2011, at the Côte d’Azur Hippodrome in Cagnes-sur-Mer, the Association of Partners for the Promotion of Mediterranean Industry (APPIM), the Chamber of Commerce and Industry Nice Côte d’Azur (CCI), and the Union of Industries and Metallurgical Trades Côte d’Azur (UIMM CA) are organizing the annual meeting for exchanges, development, and promotion of the Azurian industry. On this occasion, nearby middle school students will have the opportunity to visit this trade show and meet entrepreneurs from Alpes Maritimes.
The closing day will take place on November 25 at the EDHEC Business School.
