Last Wednesday, we welcomed students from the Ecole de Production I Je Fabrique Mon Avenir Chaudronnerie Soudage et Electricité Istres to our premises.

After hosting Théo and Jérémy, first- and second-year students, for two weeks for their internship, nearly 50 students came to our premises for a visit.

Aged between 15 and 18 and preparing for their CAP (vocational training certificate) in industrial metalworking, they discovered our business and the specificities of the aeronautical metalworking profession.

During their tour, led by Iliana Brahmia and Charlotte Pelletier, who presented JJGK Aero and its professions, they visited two of the three areas of our hangar. Florian Morata, our technical painting office agent, enthusiastically shared JJGK Aero’s expertise in the painting department. Thierry Barteau, head of metalworking and composites, then took the floor to explain the specificities of aeronautical metalworking and show them his workshops. The visit ended with a fun quiz and a prize for the winning team.

Founded in 2021, the Production School located opposite our premises at the Jean Sarrail Aeronautical Pole in Istres is a technical educational institution offering a teaching method based on “learning by doing.” To this end, it places students in real-life production situations within a “school-company” environment, with two-thirds of their time spent on real work projects in a genuine industrial production setting and one-third devoted to theoretical instruction. This teaching method offers students numerous practical workshops and has a 92% success rate.

A big thank you to the teaching team for their trust, and in particular to Anne-Gaëlle Villemiane and Aurélie Robert.
