Ta formation

Tu aimerais lancer ta carrière technique chez MAPAL ou bien tu as plutôt des compétences dans le secteur commercial ? En fonction du corps de métier que tu choisis, ta formation durera de 2 ans à 3 ans et demi.

Par ailleurs, nous sommes fiers de voir le nombre de jeunes filles qui optent pour une place de formation technique chez MAPAL. Nous encourageons tout particulièrement l'intégration des femmes dans les métiers techniques.

Dès le début, ta formation sera marquée par une étroite interaction entre savoir-faire et pratique : c'est pourquoi ta formation ne se limitera pas à notre centre de formation, mais tu auras au contraire rapidement l'opportunité de t'engager dans nos départements spécialisés et d'enrichir à nos côtés l'avenir de MAPAL.

Your study

Les études en alternance chez MAPAL

Tu souhaites suivre des études après avoir obtenu ton diplôme d'études secondaires (techniques) ? Mais tu trouves que les universités et les grandes écoles techniques n'ont qu'un rapport trop éloigné à la pratique ? Dans ce cas, les études en alternance sont la solution idéale pour toi.

En collaboration avec l'Université de formation en alternance du Bade-Wurtemberg (DHBW), MAPAL propose de suivre un programme d'études en alternance dans lequel tu combineras des études universitaires théoriques avec un travail pratique en entreprise. Les six semestres te permettront non seulement d'obtenir le baccalauréat, mais également d'engranger une expérience inégalable en collaborant activement dans les différents secteurs de l'entreprise. Tu toucheras une rémunération mensuelle, te verras remettre un ordinateur portable de l'entreprise et profiteras de bonnes conditions pour te restaurer dans nos cantines / cafétérias.

Études en alternance : mode d'emploi

Au cours de tes études, tu passeras entre des phases théoriques et pratiques qui dureront chacune trois mois. Les unités théoriques auront lieu dans les locaux de l'Université de formation en alternance du Bade-Wurtemberg. Nos diplômes sont bien évidemment reconnus par les établissements d'enseignement supérieur et sont donc assimilés aux diplômes correspondants des universités et des écoles techniques. Opter pour ce cursus a l'avantage non négligeable de nouer des liens, car tu travailleras en petits groupes. Tout est donc donné pour que tu apprennes dans les meilleures conditions et pour que tu établisses un réseau durable avec d'autres étudiants et enseignants.

Pendant les phases pratiques, tu travailleras au sein de notre entreprise et découvriras les différents secteurs de MAPAL. Tu travailleras directement en conditions réelles, seras chargé(e) de projets, établiras des contacts et auras peut-être même la possibilité d'effectuer une phase pratique dans l'une de nos succursales à l'étranger.

Avec un bon diplôme en poche, le monde s'ouvrira à toi. Il est bien entendu de notre intérêt de proposer à nos étudiants en alternance un poste d'avenir au sein du groupe MAPAL après l'obtention de leur diplôme.
