ESOS at the Bréquigny Forum

On Thursday November 23, over 500 secondary school students took part in a forum on the electronics industry at the Lycée Bréquigny in Rennes. Organized as part of the ESOS project, the forum aimed to raise awareness of the challenges of sustainable electronics and inspire students to consider careers in this rapidly evolving field.
Through this event, the ESOS project partners hope to attract more students to the electronics industry, a promising sector in terms of employment.

It's an opportunity for 3rd and 2nd grade students from 4 middle schools and 5 high schools in the Rennes area*, supervised by BTS students from Lycée Bréquigny: 

  • exchange ideas with technology companies in the sector, 
  • discover careers in electronics through fun electronics-related activities, 
  • visualize different career paths leading to careers in electronics, thanks to the post-baccalaureate training establishments present, 
  • attend conferences presenting the different professions and training courses in electronics.
