If the best-known mission of Pôle Emploi is to register people looking for a job and to register job offers from companies, the public establishment also aims to train job seekers in order to that they can more easily be hired.
Several types of training are thus provided, often of a few hundred hours. This year, Pôle Emploi in Saint-Martin wanted to focus more on quality with the implementation of programs comprising 1 to 400 hours.
142 young people were thus selected to learn trades, in particular in the construction industry, hotels or tourism with a luxury / high-end specialty. "This is a real financial investment since the training represents a cost of one million euros financed by the State", confides the regional director of Pôle Emploi, Olivier Pelvoizin, confident in the success of such training " long and pointed ”.
The young people who follow them are Saint-Martinois who for the most part did not have the means to leave the island to go to study in Guadeloupe, in metropolitan France or elsewhere.
Through this training, they have the opportunity to acquire skills that will allow them to find a job. “Our desire is to be able to train young people locally without them having to travel. We believe that this is possible, that it is possible to set up these training courses on the territory; the only sector that requires leaving is that related to high-end tourism, ”explains Olivier Pelvoizin. "It seems essential to us that young people can discover luxury standards in the Caribbean or in Europe", he continues, specifying that the five young Saint-Martinois who left in Normandy in 2018 to follow a work-study training within the Barrière group have all been hired.
It is in this same perspective of better training locally that Pôle Emploi is setting up a “nautical” technical platform at Sandy Ground. Training in several trades (mechanical expert, port agent, fittings, etc.) will be provided there. The platform will be inaugurated early next year.
