Integration: P3A
Our aims: to allow young people at all levels to enter a work-linked training programme and make a success of their plans for integration into the workforce.
P3A, the Work-linked training Support Centre:
a solution for those in difficulty
1042 YOUNG PEOPLE TRAINED IN 2009
The P3A should enable young people aged 14 to 25 at all levels to join work-linked training and succeed in their integration plans. It has three main areas of activity: A qualification access department, for young people with few or no qualifications who wish to train as apprentices or get a job, an Apprenticeship Access System to help with guidance, entry, and staying in apprenticeship, and the development of experimental activities to optimise training.
1) Apprenticeship Access System (DAA) : 900 young people trained
-
A trusted go-between
The apprenticeship access system (DAA) currently serves the teaching teams from all FDME departments. It allows young people who have not yet signed an apprenticeship contract to take a course. It also implements actions to keep people in their apprenticeship programmes whilst supporting them in their search for a placement. This makes it a trusted intermediary between external partners (CIO, MGI*, Mission Locale) and the Company Liaison Officers.
Finally, the DAA organises SDAMs**, allowing junior high school pupils and young people in an orientation phase to discover the trades taught at the FDME. This will allow some to enter an apprenticeship programme. -
Appropriate teaching methods
The teaching method is based on adapting each programme according to requirements, existing skills, and objectives. Above all, it relies on building confidence to make the young person comfortable with the training course. This teaching method is unlike that of 'classic' schooling, and is also based on refreshing the person's basic knowledge and working on their overall know-how and social skills. This learning process should help these young people to build a career plan and make the transition to become a fully-fledged apprentice at Faculté des Métiers de l'Essonne.

- Prepare the trainee for apprenticeship
- Dispense instruction leading to a qualification,
- Prepare trainees to enter a job in Sales,
- Prepare trainees to enter a job in the volume retail trades.
