Vocational training is a major issue for the competitiveness of French industry, which is constantly challenged by new production and organizational methods. The spread of new technologies, the globalization of trade and the need to take environmental issues into account are all factors that influence the skills needs of manufacturers. In France, industry represents 77,500 companies and 2,800,000 employees (2020 figures). To preserve know-how and develop new skills, industrial companies must therefore develop their attractivity, particularly to young people.

 

IRT Jules Verne brings together actors from the academic world and industry and therefore plays a role in anticipating the professions of tomorrow, in order to succeed and remain competitive.

Focus on « Tech Alternance » fair : the merger of 2 recruitment operations

« Tech Alternance » fair was born from the merger of two trainees recruitment fairs : « Alternance Manufacturing », created by IRT Jules Verne in 2015 and « Alternance Aerospace », launched by IRT Saint Exupéry in 2018. Each operation addressed complementary business sectors and industries; thus, the two research institutes decided to merge them into a single multi-sector operation in a hybrid format. « Tech Alternance » aims to develop work-study programs in key industrial and technological sectors such as aeronautics, automotive, naval and energy, from the vocational training certificate (CAP) to engineering level.
