Back To Map

Description

Built in 1900, the music kiosk of Périgueux was decapitated in 1983 for security reasons. On the initiative of the COBATY Périgord and the municipality of Périgueux, it was identically renovated between 2015 and 2018, with similar materials and traditional techniques, by apprentices of the VTC of Périgueux.
In cooperation with regional companies and associations, the apprentices, supervised by Philippe Bachmair (Best Worker of France in art metalwork) and Franck Mery (roofer), participated to the 5 phases of the project.

Policy/Initiative

Skills Gaps:
The concrete application of the knowledge learned in class to a major project with specific requirements fills the gaps between the skills needed in a professional context and those provided by the VTC.
Mis-Matching of Skills:
This common project allows apprentices to cooperate with all the craftmanship trades involved and to learn from each one, preventing them of being only specialized and not concerned by the impacts of each trade on the others.
Skills Shortages:
This project participates to prevent traditional craftmanship skills from disappearing by promoting and valuing them.

Recommendations

Training:
The apprentices learned to work with all the other craftmanship trades and gained in responsibility as well as solidarity, in contrast to the individual projects they usually achieve by themselves for themselves to validate their trainings.
Other EQF-Level:
The apprentices participated to a common long-term project in heritage restoration within the framework of a territorial cooperation between the municipality, the VTC, local companies and associations, which integrates them in their territory. Therefore, their work is recognized and valued by the society.
Transfer in Europe:
The knowledge the apprentices learn by participating to this concrete project is instantly operational and easily assimilated.
