Vocational education

Several actions were carried out in 2020 to strengthen vocational education:

  • The listing of training courses on the ‘My Training Account’ platform for improved access to our diplomas for employees and job-seekers. In 2020, 107 applicants were able to activate their personal training account (CPF) in order to fund their training.
  • Creation of the University self-diagnostic tool for the quality benchmark to obtain certification
  • Setting-up of a Université Gustave Eiffel Vocational Training work group, which encompasses all the school’s entities and led to the creation of the training catalogue.

For the 2019/2020 academic year, Université Gustave Eiffel established a total of 324 contracts for all forms of training.

Validation of Skills and Experience (VAE)

297 applications were submitted in 2019/2020. Out of 109 admissible applications, 86 were validated by the jury.

Master classes

In the framework of the Circular Economy and Urban Metabolism Chair, coordinated by Université Gustave Eiffel and funded by the Métropole du Grand Paris, a training course was set up in 2020 to provide keys to the implementation of a regional-level circular economy.

These one-day sessions, organised around contributions from researchers, institutional stakeholders and socio-economic players having set up circular-economy practices, brought together participants in a format which fostered interactions with the speakers. The aim was to enable participants to discuss and find ways to tackle the issues/projects/prospects they are facing. Participants were able to build their own individualised training path, by following a session of their choice, or the entire course (9 sessions from September 2020 to November 2021).

The training course is geared towards agents from regional authorities and elected representatives, in addition to operator agents or design office staff, etc.
