ESC: Representing Europe at Purple Campus Alès Apprenticeship Centre

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.
