La Région lance une grande campagne de mobilisation pour l’apprentissage à destination des jeunes et des employeurs. Au service de cette action, l’ARFTLV leur a ouvert la possibilité d’accéder à la bourse régionale de l’apprentissage mise en place en 2013 pour les développeurs de l’alternance.
Ainsi sur www.poitou-charentes-alternance.fr, les employeurs peuvent désormais déposer directement leurs offres de contrat et les jeunes leurs demandes. Ils peuvent aussi y retrouver toute l’offre de formation en apprentissage proposée en Poitou-Charentes.
Les informateurs et conseillers peuvent s’appuyer sur cet outil (sur leurs comptes ECHO habituels) pour faire les mises en relation et ainsi contribuer au développement l’apprentissage dans la région.

By Gemma Ware. Universities are being urged to seize the opportunity of expanding into India where reforms will radically change the country’s higher education sector in the next decade.
In a new report, the British Council said India’s tertiary-age population will be the world’s third largest largest by 2020, behind only China and the United States. Ambitious plans by the government to expand university enrolment from 18% to 30%, means India needs to provide 14m extra university places by then.
