📝 Detailed information

🏢 About the local organisation

As a result of the merger of 17 Chamber of Commerce Apprenticeship training centres, the Occitanie Chamber of Commerce apprenticeship training centre has become the biggest apprenticeship centre in the Occitanie region. The creation of this group, which has regrouped all the training centres into one regional entity, enabled to acquire a more global vision of the territory"s needs and therefore adapt its offer more precisely to the economy's and the territory's expectations. This group has recently become Purple Campus, a training centre, which now specializes in apprenticeship training and lifelong vocational training for the consular network in Occitanie. For the last 3 years, in order to respond more efficently to companies' demands, the group has also embarked in the digitalisation of its offer. In providing adapted, innovative and effective courses, our aim as a training centre is to accompany entreprises in the development of the skills and competencies of their current and future collaborators. The group proposes 100 training courses from the CAP level (professional training certifcate) to Higher level Courses, equivalent to 5 years study after the baccélauréat. It specialises in the following sectors; commerce, distribution, sales, services, management, hospitality, catering, tourism, sport, information technology, digital technology, robotics, manufacturing, warehousing, logistics, health and wellness, hairdressing and esthetics, quality control, security, ecology, and 3 specific subsectors; languages, e-learning and coaching for businesses. We work in collaboration with 6000 partner companies, 600 apprentices and 178 permanent members staff to achieve an 88% yearly success rate in examinations.

⚠️ Requirements

The Participant profile: The Europe House in Nîmes and the Training school want to host European volunteers in the team in order to add skills, especially with the students of the school to be more European and international. From the volunteers, the Europe House is expecting their desire to give to the public their knowledge and enthusiasm for the intercultural dialogue and intercultural learning. European information and sensitization is more credible if it’s made by young people from other European countries who believe in the European Union and who have a strong motivation to participate to the programs that are proposed, as well as learning foreign languages. Candidates should have basic knowledge in French to understand and be understood + knowledges in English and/or Spanish. Their motivation, their capacity on bringing enthusiasm during their intervention, especially for the youngsters, and their understanding of the pedagogy and the contact will be important criteria. They will have to be flexible, mobile and to be able to adapt in every specific situation and every type of audience.

ℹ️ Additional information

The project is implemented under the European Solidarity Corps Programme, financed by the European Commission.
The participating organisations have to be mindful of these needs as they are responsible for providing a respectful and trusting hosting environment. At the same time, the organisations participating in the initiative devote a great deal of time, energy and resources to set up a high-quality activity; they should therefore expect that European Solidarity Corps participants show a similar level of respect for the local communities and the people that are directly concerned by the activities (https://youth.europa.eu/solidarity/mission_en).
