From November 18 to 24, Industry Week is in full swing in Tarn-et-Garonne, under the inspiring theme “With industry, create your future”. This national event aims to promote the industry and its professions to the general public, and more particularly young people and job seekers, by promoting the opportunities offered by this strategic sector.
A symbolic launch at Bourdelle high school
The week was officially opened by Vincent Robertiprefect of Tarn-et-Garonne, at the Bourdelle high school, in the presence of students and local partners. This establishment, recognized for its close links with the industrial world, was the ideal theater to launch this series of events intended to bring young people closer to industrial careers.
Various initiatives to awaken vocations
Many activities are organized throughout the week:
- Company visits : Middle and high school students are invited to discover behind the scenes of local factories and workshops, a rare opportunity to better understand industrial professions.
- Meeting with industry professionals : On November 19, women engaged in industrial careers will share their journeys with Vincent Roberti at the prefecture. These testimonies will also be highlighted in video portraits broadcast throughout the week.
These initiatives aim to break down preconceived ideas about the industry, still sometimes perceived as a field that is inaccessible or reserved for men, and to highlight the possibilities for development and professional success.
