Vocational training

A carpentry workshop offers a group of about 20 young people in difficulty a skill training that is well adapted to their profile.

The training is led by four Filipino monitor-carpenters and a teacher who teaches a basic skills review course of writing, reading and calculation.

The training allows the students, through the completion of a variety of exercises, to master the techniques and tools of the carpentry shop while continuing their social stabilisation process in order to prepare themselves for the realities of the working world.

Upon completing their apprenticeship, the students are able to produce professional pieces of furniture and can then seek real employment with the aid of the foundation.

Since the start of 2005, two new apprenticeship training workshops have been opened. They provide training in automobile mechanics and electricity respectively.
