Ms. Sophie Vincent, Deputy Director of Employment, was in charge of the event. She stated that "The aim of the Forum is to promote sandwich courses, which are a useful recruitment tool. We must now maintain the number of visitors while continuing to forge links with the Employment Office – in particular with the Youth Employment Unit – and businesses. This year is marked by a two-fold record – the number of new apprenticeship contracts signed – 147, i.e. 30% more than last year – and the number of entities that were present at this Forum."

Mr. Stéphane Valeri, Minister of Health and Social Affairs, visited the Forum. He spoke at length with heads of businesses and schools, and with some of the young people there.

At the end of this day event, three winners (and their apprenticeship supervisors) were awarded an Apprenticeship Trophy in recognition of their exemplary performance, both academically and professionally.
