Description
Creation of the professional certification "Driving Construction Machinery" 30 years ago to respond to a local need of revenue-generating activities.

Project/Initiative Data
Start Date:
20180301
End Date:

Total Budget:
18 000€
Phases:
The certification "Driving Machinery" was created 30 years ago by an agriculture high school in the Beauce area because farmers had no professional activities during the winter season, so they occupied their time through landscaping activities, to optimize their income. The certification was renewed by the CCCA-BTP in 2018.

The certification allows construction workers with disabilities due to their activities to continue to work in the construction sector at a more adapted position.
Other:
The certification eases the socio-professional integration of apprentices, job seekers, people with disabilities and experienced construction workers.
