The Établissement Public d'Enseignement et de Formation Professionnelle Agricole du Robert provides training for 240 young people, high school and university students in the following areas of training: Landscaping, Food Processing, Sales and Marketing of Food Products and Personal and Territorial Services. The food industry is particularly well developed locally, and is the leading industrial sector, employing 3,100 people in factories manufacturing a wide range of products (milk, meat, fruit and vegetables, etc.). A large number of employees are due to retire, which means there is a real need to recruit trained personnel at various levels of responsibility, including operators, team leaders and middle managers, executives and site managers. Production and quality are the main functions in demand. BTS Bioqualim training is well suited to the jobs in demand. The opportunity for young people to do their internship abroad is a major advantage in recruitment. By working in production companies, they develop open-mindedness and adaptability that they can put to good use in future employment. This is why our school gives BIOQUALIM (quality, food, innovation and health control) BTSA students the opportunity to carry out their compulsory 2-month 1st year internship abroad, currently in Hungary, Slovenia or Portugal. Without funding from the European Union, it would have been unthinkable for these young people from modest families to carry out such a project. In Martinique, 28% of the population lives below the poverty line, and the Lycée du Robert is located in a priority education zone. The Erasmus dynamic is therefore vital to the mobility drive that the school is promoting. It's important to emphasize that our ultramarine territory is over 7,000km from continental Europe. Few students have ever had the opportunity to go beyond the borders of their island. This is an opportunity to make them aware of their belonging to the European community. Beyond the discovery and familiarization of a different professional environment, we are keen to introduce our young people to the culture and way of life of a European country, while practicing English and becoming familiar with the language of their host country. The feedback we get from students who have taken part in a mobility program in previous years is very good, which is a motivating factor for new students. Our school also offers mobility programs for members of the teaching, administrative and technical staff, and members of the management team, seeking professional development and international exposure. The aim is to provide periods of observation, training and exchanges of practice, as well as work on international cooperation, in preparation for future mobility for our students and staff. Meeting, exchanging and getting to know foreign professionals is a rich experience. The discovery of industrial activities involving different raw materials can be exploited locally. The aim is also to raise the profile of our living professions campus beyond the Caribbean. Moreover, international cooperation is one of the 5 missions of agricultural education. Mobility abroad unfortunately came to a standstill during and following the Covid pandemic. Since 2022, a new dynamism has been injected. We are maintaining our relationships with foreign partners, and making new contacts (in particular by welcoming delegations from other countries to our school). In 2024 205, for example, we welcomed a delegation from Austria and Hungary, and are planning exchanges with Belgium), and are developing our visibility through effective communication on social networks and the organization of events (Erasmus Days, career fairs, etc.). It's important to point out that we offer only one BTS higher education course at our school. We were suffering from a lack of attractiveness in the field, leading to the recruitment of too few young people in certain classes. When we go to career guidance forums and fairs, and advertise our BTS to the island's high school students, we emphasize our Erasmus program, our partnerships with quality host establishments, our openness to the international scene, and the benefits they can derive from it. This spotlight on Erasmus is beginning to bear fruit, since at the start of the 2024 school year, many young people prioritized this course at our school precisely because of it.
