A unique opportunity

To support France's reindustrialization policy, industry professionals have identified a strong recruitment need for technical trades such as welders, assemblers and boilermakers. Yet companies in the sector are struggling to recruit this skilled workforce, which is in short supply.

Drawing on its expertise in metallurgy, Eiffage Métal has decided to set up its own training school to remedy this situation. In partnership with the Institut de Soudure and Alemploi, Eiffage Métal is launching the Académie Eiffage Métal at its Lauterbourg plant in 2023, in a workshop of over 100 m² equipped with dedicated workstations.

The industrial welders in the first class of our welding academy have just graduated. Thanks to a program that alternates theory with practical experience in the workshop, the students have acquired key skills such as blueprint reading, mastery of various welding processes and dimensional control of parts. They also developed rigor and team spirit.

Under the supervision of experienced instructors, they also learned to meet demanding industry standards and work on real projects at the Lauterbourg plant. Well done to all and welcome to the exciting world of steel construction! 

I'm proud to belong to Eiffage Métal. It gives me the opportunity to take part in the construction of engineering structures as emblematic as they are complex, such as the Millau Viaduct, the Lille stadium, the Bezons bridge and the A1 motorway crossing. From plan reading to workshop fabrication, no two days are alike. All our projects are made-to-measure. The final stage is always moving. You get to see all the pieces of the jigsaw come together, and get a full-scale view of the structure that began in our hands at the factory.
