young people discovering the trades and protagonists of the sector

On December 9, Yutz Welding Institute received 89 middle school students for an immersive day. Initiated by the Moselle center in collaboration with local companies and actors (such as the La Briquerie high school in Thionville), and financially supported by the Grand Est Region as part of a specific program dedicated to live works, the operation aims to present the real face of industry and to encourage vocations. ” Faced with the shortage of manpower and the lack of interest of young people in our professions, we organized an event called “Welding your future”, aimed at students of 4^and who will have to choose their orientation on the 3^and and do their discovery internship in a company. Starting from the floor plans of the bird cages set up upstream during the Four Class Technology, we developed a circuit explains Laëtitia Decker, head of operational training at the Institut de Soudure. In order to present the different facets of the sector and its players from an entertaining and educational point of view, the center divided the visit into four workshops, in strict compliance with the safety instructions. ” The goal was to get the students to play. They discovered non-destructive testing during the Doctor of Welding stage and then made a steel bird cage during the origami workshop. They then visited the group’s R&D platform before holding discussions with three companies in the basin: CNPE de Cattenom, Cryolor and Boccard. »
