The CCI of the Côte d’Azur launched yesterday morning, in partnership with the Chamber of Agriculture, the Bus of Apprenticeship Tour 06. The goal of this new initiative is simple: to foster connections between young people, parents, and business leaders.
Today, apprenticeship concerns more than 7,300 young people in the Alpes-Maritimes. It was therefore logical to renew the edition. The CCI Nice Côte d’Azur and its partners, the Chamber of Trades and Crafts, the Chamber of Agriculture, and the Academy Inspectorate, have thus launched today the 9th edition of the “month of apprenticeship” with a new formula: the Bus of Apprenticeship Tour 06. From March 4 to 16, it will travel around the department, notably in front of industrial zones, business areas, and high schools (1).
According to Bernard Kleynhoff, President of the CCI, “Apprenticeship is the royal road to enter the business world.” The curious will be able to find documentation, and take online tests thanks to the four available computers, as well as specialists to answer numerous questions. Some guidance, decision-making aid for business leaders, and personalized interviews. A free and local service to facilitate the establishment of apprenticeship contracts for the September start, for young people and companies alike.
Apprenticeship attracts more and more young people each year. The work-study program attracts all trades and at all diploma levels. 82% of young people trained both in a company and a training center find a job less than 1 year after their diploma. Hospitality, trades in services, real estate, personal care services, and communication are the most educational branches (42%).
Following are commerce, culinary trades, and auto repair with 21%. Finally, building-construction and industry complete the podium with 19% and 12% respectively. Last year, 4,251 apprenticeship contracts were signed in the department, an increase of 15% compared to 2011. The goal is to give even more integration opportunities.
Note that the Bus will make its first stop today in Antibes from 10 AM to 2 PM at the Carrefour Shopping Center and also at Lycée Audiberti from 3:30 PM to 6 PM.
