The second edition of the Careers Forum, organized by the local FCPE councils of Jacou and Clapiers colleges, was a great success this Saturday, December 7th in Jacou, attracting over 400 students and parents.

Hosted at the Laurent Puigségur gymnasium in Jacou, the event aimed to allow middle schoolers to discover various orientation possibilities after 4th and 3rd grade. Around fifty professionals and representatives from educational institutions were present to inform young people and their families about potential careers, training, and paths.
The Maison de l’orientation and the Centre d’information et d’orientation (CIO) of Montpellier hosted an "orientation café" to guide young people in their future choices. Virtual reality headsets offered an immersive experience into different professions, while the CFA-GRETA Montpellier Littoral organized learning-focused escape games. Local high schools and professionals provided families with information on general, technological, and vocational training paths.
New this year were a careers quiz and a giant mural, enriched by students throughout the morning, making orientation a fun and participatory experience while highlighting the diversity of professional sectors.

"A big thank you to the parents mobilized at FCPE Jacou and Clapiers college for this wonderful morning full of exchanges and discoveries for the young middle schoolers."
