Regulatory News:
French President Emmanuel Macron today officially opened with
Patrick Pouyanné, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Total
(Paris:FP) (LSE:TTA) (NYSE:TOT), L'Industreet in Stains (north of
Paris) the campus for 18- to 25-year-olds with or without
qualifications, thought up and funded by the Total Foundation. The
campus will provide tuition-free training for 400 young people each
year in the industry professions of tomorrow. Despite COVID-19,
more than 60 young people already started training with
L'Industreet in November 2020.
This initiative provides a practical response to the challenge
of youth unemployment at a time when more than 200,000 industrial
jobs are unfilled in France. Industry is undergoing profound
changes with automation and digitalization, and it offers a wealth
of opportunities for young people looking for a career path.
"It is an honor to welcome the French President here today to
open L'Industreet. This campus is tangible proof of Total's
commitment to youth employment and training. L'Industreet is
targeted primarily at those who leave school without any
qualifications and are looking for a career, attracting them to the
industries that are hiring. We have designed L'Industreet to really
lead the way in training young people in the industrial trades of
tomorrow, with one clear objective: a job for each graduate,"
explains Patrick Pouyanné, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of
Total. "I would like to personally thank everyone who has been
involved in this collective challenge over the last two years: the
project and teaching team, as well as those involved in inclusion,
employment and training in collaboration with professional
organizations, local authorities and the French government, without
whose support this project would not have come to fruition so
quickly."
Objective: a job for each graduate
L'Industreet will give young people the opportunity to acquire
nationally recognized professional skills certification after 12 to
18 months of free training. The program focuses on five areas with
high demand for applicants: automated production lines,
non-destructive testing and inspection, power distribution
terminals, digitalization of industrial facilities and attended
robot multi-service maintenance.
Its innovative teaching approach mixes classroom and technical
courses with immersive work experience, as well as the know-how
needed to enter the world of work. Because the curriculum is
individualized, students will be able to enroll throughout the
year. At the end of the program, L'Industreet's goal is for each
young graduate to be in a position to find a job in industry,
continue their studies or start their own business.
Concept: tuition-free education open to all
No specific background or qualification is required for a place
in L'Industreet. The campus is intended for young people who are
still searching for a career path. In addition, Total puts an
emphasis on training an equal number of men and women to overcome
the stubborn stereotypes associated with jobs in industry. Young
people from all parts of France are able to apply at
www.lindustreet.fr.
A place for living and learning
With its 11,000 m(2) dedicated to learning, the campus is
designed as a real place for living, comprising three 1,000 m(2)
workshops, 400 m(2) of space dedicated to digital technology, 1,000
m(2) of outdoor space and student accommodation. The campus is also
easily accessible by public transport, with the RER D and the T11
tramline right next to the site. The project was designed with a
low carbon footprint and is HQE Bâtiment Durable (sustainable
building) certified. Solar panels supply some of the site's power
requirements.
