Industry week took place last week with several events including visits to sections of the Blaise Pascal vocational high school.
According to Anne Robert, orientation mission manager for the Saint-Dizier/Bar-le-Duc Region house, “the interest of industry week is to promote career paths and professions, to highlight the richness and diversity of the industrial fabric”.
It is also an opportunity to break the clichés and show that the industry is innovating to succeed in its ecological and digital transition. In this context, on November 21, Patrick Chardron, one of the teachers at the Blaise Pascal vocational high school, carried out the visits. Visits which began with the BTS Maintenance of production systems and machines.
“It combines skills in three areas: electricity, automation and mechanics. The objective is to teach students to carry out a diagnosis on machines and find solutions”he explained.
Mandatory certifications
Another possibility for students is to prepare a CAP Industrial achievements in boilermaking or welding in order to work with metal. “In collaboration with Greta, adults can train in welding and boilermaking in our establishment”according to Patrick Chardron.
A stone's throw from this training is the electrotechnical sector through the professional baccalaureate in electricity professions and its connected environments. It allows you to train electricians capable of working on all types of electrical installations (domestic, tertiary and industrial) including their connected environments. Last section visited by the groups on November 21, the nuclear environment. It includes students in vocational baccalaureate and others in BTS.
“In the first year, they learn the basics of being a technician”. A school site reproducing a nuclear power plant was thus set up within the school establishment. It notably includes a room with cameras, a decontamination airlock, a water transfer pump, a undressing room and control gates.
“All of these facilities must be certified, as must our teachers, without which our students could not be trained.”. So much information that may have made visitors on November 21 want to plan a future professional project.
