Challenge
Every year in France, over 100,000 young people leave the school system without any qualifications. At the same time, the ecological transition is developing, and related professions are booming. According to ADEME,by 2050, nearly 1 million jobs will be created as part of the ecological transition.
ETRE schools have been set up to turn this dual challenge into an asset: building a training path adapted to young people who drop out of the conventional school system, while accelerating the ecological transition through trades and skills

Solution
Les Écoles de la Transition Écologique - ETRE support and train young people in difficulty in the manual trades of the ecological transition. In these training courses, which are free of charge for participants, young people discover several green and greening professions in practical, manual workshops, work on their career orientation and acquire multiple ecological transition skills. The aim of the training courses: to guide and integrate young people who have dropped out of school into a job in the ecological transition.
Today, 10 ETRE schools, each with a trade specialization, exist throughout France. The ETRE school in Aveyron will specialize in the sustainable management of green spaces.

Recent result
In 2022, in its 10 schools, Les Écoles de la Transition Écologique - ETRE accompanied nearly 450 young people towards the professions of the future.
69% of young people from an ETRE school are in employment or training 1 year after their training.
2 out of 3 young people opt for a long-term career in the ecological transition after their ETRE training.
The money will be used for
Each €50 raised will fund 1 day of training for a young person at an ETRE school. The €50 covers the remuneration of trainers, the purchase of tools and equipment used in practical workshops, and the organization of transport to enable young people to get to the training site.
With €50 you're taking a concrete step towards enabling young people who have dropped out of school to regain a taste for learning, while helping to accelerate the ecological transition through trades and skills!
Goal
In 2023, ETRE plans to support and train nearly 700 young people in ecological transition professions. The ETRE school in Ségala is aiming to guide 50 young people into these forward-looking professions.

Awarded by the Fondation la France S'Engage, ETRE schools embarked on a spin-off process in 2020. Taking the form of a social franchise, the ETRE Network supports locally-rooted project leaders in setting up new schools for the ecological transition on their territory. 10 schools are already active throughout France, and a dozen more will be created each year.

The national meeting of ETRE schools is 100% renewable fuel to build on all year round!
For 3 days, all the schools involved in the ecological transition gathered at ETRE Montarnaud (Montpellier) for the September national meeting.
An unmissable highlight for the 20 active schools with so much to share! Between exchanges of practices, strategic topics and informal times, the 3 days were intense and exciting. 🌟 💚
A real burst of energy to support as best we can the young people we then meet in our structures.

The end of the school year on the theme of the circular economy
The month of June was an opportunity to talk circular economy professions, waste management and recycling issues, consumption patterns and eco-design with our trainees from the ETRE en Ségala school.
So many notions and values that they put into practice through an artistic project, in aid of a Third-Place, made from 100% recycled materials, from the wood right down to the nails! Through this project, which ran throughout the month of June, the youngsters discovered carpentry by making outdoor benches, metalwork from bending to welding by making a metal arbour structure, and the patience and creativity required for woodcarving by creating totem animals that echo the natural identity of the Tiers-Lieux.
This transition from theoretical issues to practical experimentation is the key to the ETRE schools' pedagogy. Enabling experimentation through the senses that restores a taste for learning, and developing technical skills that foster self-confidence.

Combining contact with the local professional fabric and training activities designed for our public with fragile career paths, this is our recipe for awakening sensibilities, making people think and building accurate representations of professions.
2 great weeks with 7 young participants who proved to be enthusiastic.

Learn traditional carpentry by building a dry toilet. A proud team!The ETRE school project in Aveyron takes shape!
Autumn 2022 was an opportunity for us to validate our pre-qualification training in the trades of the Ecological Transition. With a pilot group of 8 young people, boys and girls, we spent 3 months exploring the trades of eco-construction and maintenance of green spaces through various workcamps.
Thanks to your support, we are now in a position to fully deploy the ETRE en Ségala school project, with 5 training courses (lasting 2 weeks or 3 months) spread throughout 2023!
