Training in the trades of yesterday and tomorrow
Thanks to our history in the restoration of heritage and old buildings, we are concerned with promoting these trades and encouraging the transmission of traditional know-how (stone cutting, lime plastering, dry stone walls, etc.).
Anchored in our time, we want to contribute to the energy transition of our societies, by supporting the solar industry, building insulation and promoting the use of bio-sourced materials.
Training for all
Accessible to all audiences (job seekers, employees in integration, professionals and individuals), our training courses are designed to be adaptable to the various situations encountered. Our pedagogical approach, which favors learning by doing, allows the greatest number of people, and more particularly those in precarious and fragile situations (job seekers, employees in integration), to acquire the skills necessary to implement their project. Our experience on ACTA VISTA’s integration sites has enabled us to develop this know-how and to allow many employees in integration to learn a building trade and to acquire a level 3 professional title.
Training to promote access to employment
Our training courses are mainly focused on trades and sectors in short supply, and aim to enable the acquisition of skills that are in demand on the job market. Thanks to our actions, particularly in the energy transition sector, we enable job seekers to train in emerging professions, with real employment opportunities in a fast-growing sector.
Professional and operational training
Our training courses are designed in conjunction with companies, in order to meet the requirements of the market and to train our trainees in the expected skills. It is also the guarantee of being trained on the techniques, equipment and materials used on the market.
A teaching method based on gestures
Our pedagogical approach is to encourage learning through action and in work situations. In addition to the theoretical sequences, we offer time for practical exercises, within the framework of educational platforms that recreate real situations encountered on site. This pedagogy allows the learner to implement what he has learned, to test it, to evaluate it and finally to be able to make his own adjustments. The anchoring of the acquired knowledge is thus favored and allows the learner to move towards autonomy.
This progression is accompanied by our pedagogical teams, composed of experienced multidisciplinary trainers, who know the requirements and constraints of each profession.
In addition, we provide socio-professional support to our trainees who are job seekers, in order to help them implement their project.
