This year again, the school class in business program, scheme took place with the Galilée college at Salvetat-Saint-Gilles, with whom we have had a partnership for 9 years. It was an oppotunity for our teams to welcome a class during three consecutive days at Air Support to introduce them to careers in the industry.
This program is organised by UIMM Occitanie and supported by the Occitanie/Pyrénées-Méditerrannée region.
Our goal? Students leave enriched by this experience in a company and are ready to be inspired, and maybe start new vocations in the industry.
A busy program
These immersion days began with a presentation by Sabine TERTRE. Then, students, after an observation time, were able to conduct employee surveys, followed by a series questions about their career and their training.
They were able to discover the differents professions of industry : design engineer, sales manager, maintenance technicians, executive assistant, stock maganer, sales manager, methods technician, warehouse manger and customs officer…
Stop prejudices in the company
The students also took part in discussions on prejudices in the workplace, listening to testimonials from employees on various topics, including homophobia , the role of women in industrial careers and physical descrimination preventing accessibility to some positions.
The students also took part in discussions on prejudice in the workplace. Testimonies from employees dealt in particular with the themes of homophobia, the place of women in industrial jobs and physical discrimination which prevented access to certain positions. This event generated a great deal of interaction and highlighted the importance of self-acceptance and self-image, which are too often relegated to the background.

A final moment of conviviality
These three days ended on a festive note, with the organisation of a thank-you snack for the Air Support teams, prepared by students, and an escape game that allowed them to pool all their new knowledge by answering questions about the professions and the company.
