On December 6, 2024, the Interfor training center organized its graduation ceremony for the class of 2024, at Unilasalle Amiens. This landmark event brings together nearly 700 guests, including graduates and their loved ones, institutional representatives, business mentors and Interfor employees.
An evening marked by success
The ceremony begins with a unique opening moment, hosted by Esther Richez and Magali Quillico, actresses and trainers in theatrical improvisation within the company La Boîte d'Impro. Their performance, dedicated to the opening of the graduation ceremony, adds a unique touch to this event.
After a word of welcome and thanks from the organizers, the graduates are honored during the graduation ceremony. The evening will also be an opportunity to celebrate the valedictorians and highlight the year's successes in all Interfor sectors. A moment of conviviality follows with a cocktail prepared by apprentices in the Hospitality-Restaurant sector, a DJ to liven up the evening, as well as photo booths to immortalize this celebration.
Varied training and a promising future for Interfor
Interfor is a training center which, each year, supports nearly 1,000 apprentices and trains nearly 3,000 trainees from different professional sectors. This year, the graduation ceremony is marked by the first class of Omnichannel Distribution Managers (BAC+3) and by the graduation of Medical Secretaries from the January and October 2024 sessions.
The organization continues to evolve and announces the opening of a new sales and marketing manager training course (BAC+5) in the Marketing-Sales sector, as well as the entry into training of the second promotion of Human Resources Managers (BAC+5).
A springboard for young people and businesses
Interfor has noted a marked interest in its training, particularly work-study training, an educational model very popular with young people and businesses alike. With high success rates and a professional integration rate, Interfor confirms its key role in increasing the skills of young people and supporting businesses in the region. Work-study training, a real springboard to employment, continues to prove its worth within partner companies.
