along the southern road

Description

Su'l voye do sud ... was a project aimed, at the start, at 8 young people following the training of road workers and 14 young people following the training of sales assistants at CEFA in Namur.Indeed, the CEFA of Namur organizes a road worker training which is sometimes limited in its projects because of the small size of the structure and the impossibility of working with large caliber machines. The TP Mallemort-en-Provence training center, which enjoys an excellent international reputation, offered this internship opportunity. 8 students would have had the opportunity to learn new techniques, work on large-scale construction sites and operate machines of all types. Unfortunately, these mobilities had to be canceled following the Coronavirus pandemic.The CEFA in Namur also organizes sales training. The project also planned to send 14 students so that they could exercise their professional practice in a sales sector other than the one in which they have been working since their registration at Cefa. A partnership with the Languedoc-Roussillon Chamber of Trades and Crafts had provided for the mobility of 12 students to complete their two-week internship in companies in Albi.Unfortunately, in this case too, the mobility planned for two years had to be limited: only 6 young people benefited from the project.The four girls and two boys, installed in a youth hostel in Albi, were supervised throughout their stay by Belgian guides from the section. The students most often came from disadvantaged backgrounds, not used to traveling and bound by contract, since the start of their training at Cefa, to very specific sales sectors.Indeed, when a student registers at Cefa, he starts his internships in one and only one well-determined company and stays there until the end of his training. This has the consequence that the student only evolves in a single sales sector, always with the same products and the same audience. This two-week stay abroad represented a real opportunity for them to radically change their sales sector and acquire new skills related to their future profession.In the field of Prêt à porter (4 students), the skills that were assessed in Albi are as follows: easily establish relationships with customers; be available to the customer; identify the client's style in order to achieve the best trend-product-client production; adapt its presentation and attitude to the products sold and the clientele concerned; support the almost permanent standing position.For the student working in the Fresh Assortment:: carry out the restocking of the items within a given time while respecting the stock rotation and the cold chain; Sort and dispose of waste generated by unpacking and placing items; carry out the facing, that is to say arrange the articles in a presentable way; Check the cleanliness of shelves, windows, ...; note that an article is not salable by its color, its appearance and report it to the person in charge; check the temperature of the refrigerators.For the student working in a cosmetics and perfume store: welcoming the customer; present the articles corresponding to the expressed needs and the style of the person; inquire about the composition of the various items and their specificities in order to inform customers; have the product tested; propose additional articles; close the sale; receive orders, account for items, reference them and label them; tidy up the store throughout the day.During the stay, the guides supervised the young people and were in regular contact with the tutors in the company. They also assessed the learning outcomes at the end of the two weeks (based on an assessment grid drawn up in advance), acquired integrated into the students' curriculum.Together, they took part in cultural activities in the region on weekends.Impacts:- The skill level of young people has been raised (knowledge, skills and attitudes), thus promoting their employability on the Belgian and European labor market. The 6 students have found work in Belgium.- Increased sense of initiative, as well as their autonomy and adaptability to new situations;- Greater sensitivity to intercultural encounters, to better knowledge of European projects and European values;- At Cefa level, the roles and tasks of each have been refined in order to guarantee projects even more efficient management in the future;- Other training sectors wish to be able to participate in an Erasmus + project in the years to come!
