After three years impacted by the health crisis, the departmental training forum is back at the Marché-Gare. A first opportunity for college students and their families to learn about orientations after the college certificate.
Three days, twenty-one exhibitors and 2,800 students from the department’s seventeen public colleges. Here is in figures the decor of this new departmental training forum once again organized by the local public educational establishments of Tarn-et-Garonne (Ministries of National Education and Agriculture) and the Information and direction of the department.
From Monday, January 30 until Wednesday, February 1 at noon (tomorrow), college students will be able to meet representatives of training provided by public education, agricultural education and apprenticeship. The various army and gendarmerie corps are also present on this forum. “For most students, this is a first orientation meeting. At the end of the third year, they will have to choose between continuing their studies in the general, professional or apprenticeship sectors, explains Céline Arbelot, director of the CIOs of Castelsarrasin and Montauban. The time of this meeting is articulated with all the activities developed by the schools within the framework of the Parcours Avenir, and aims to make pupils acquire the capacity to be informed and to become actors of their orientation.”
The strike against the pension reform scheduled for Tuesday, January 31 worries the organizers a little: “We are aware that some classes may not be able to come with their teachers, but the forum remains open to families, assures the organizer. exhibitors have assured us of their presence.”
The Occitanie Region in force
We find among them the main public high schools of the department, the chamber of trades and crafts, the school of trades of Montauban or the Family and rural house of Moissac. A key player in high school life, the Regional Council has deployed its teams from the “Maison de l’orientation mobile”. This mobile device launched last year aims to facilitate access to orientation and training. Dedicated to young people from the third year, but also to their families, students and job seekers as part of the skills investment plan (PIC), these guidance professionals criss-cross the departments and present educational tools innovative programs allowing the public to discover a multitude of professions.
