The Fête de l’apprentissage was perhaps living its last edition there. Anne Hiltpold confirmed to us that the event “needs to be rethought so that everyone can be highlighted according to their merits”. The magistrate explained to us that “a tripartite working group is currently working on the subject”. It must submit proposals “in a few weeks”.
