On Thursday March 8, Gilles CAPY, EDF Regional Delegate in Occitanie, Jean-Pierre VINEL, President of Toulouse III University – Paul Sabatier, Nicolas BROUZENG, CNPE Director of Golfech, David AUGEIX, South Regional Director EDF Energies Nouvelles and Franck DARTHOU , Director of the South-West Hydraulic Production Unit have renewed their support for the Master: “Physics of energy and energy transition”. Developed jointly, the professional integration of this Bac+5 training offered to students and open since September 2014 at Toulo Universityuse III – Paul Sabatier, has demonstrated its effectiveness with students since:
- 64% of them completed an internship in the EDF Group,
- 84% either found a job within six months after their training or continued their thesis,
- 35% were hired in the EDF Group (Nuclear, New Energies and Waste Recovery sectors)
VSThe Master also allowed the development of professional training alternately. This training therefore aims to train the executives of tomorrow in the fields of electricity production (nuclear and renewable energies), electricity transport and distribution, as well as "smart networks" which constitute a building block fundamental to the energy transition.
Wishing to perpetuate their relations and implement new actions in higher education, training and research, the two entities have also signed three partnership agreements.
Innovative training that responds to current energy challenges and perspectives
Students at the University of Toulouse III – Paul Sabatier have the choice of joining the Master’s degree in “Physics of energy and energy transition”, created by the University of Toulouse III – Paul Sabatier and developed with the EDF Group in Occitanie. . The knowledge and skills acquired during these two years of training are mainly oriented towards professions in the nuclear sector (design, operation, nuclear safety, industrial maintenance, deconstruction of a nuclear power plant, materials and radiation protection, etc.) and the energy sectors. new renewables such as wind, solar, hydraulic (design, engineering, operation and maintenance, etc.). Renewable electrical energies are therefore part of this training, like the energy transition. They thus contribute to student opportunities.
“ This Master responds to the new challenges of the evolution of our society and our markets. Our ambition is to offer candidates fundamental training in physics, associated with the disciplines of electrical production, which will allow them to benefit from multidisciplinary scientific knowledge and knowledge. This is already a reality at the Golfech nuclear power plant, which has welcomed 8 interns since 2013 out of 31 students. Among them, 8 were recruited within the Group, including 2 at the head office. Indeed, this sector aims to meet EDF's needs in terms of jobs but also training for our employees. Indeed, EDF is faced with new needs and a strong renewal of skills due to numerous retirements. », explains Gilles CAPY, EDF Regional Delegate in Occitanie.
The Master “Physics of energy and energy transition” includesra 450 hours of teaching (divided into 183 hours of classes, 189 hours of tutorials and 78 hours of practical work), two tutored projects, as well as a 5-month internship in a company or in a laboratory. A work-study course is also offered to students.
This initial training is intended for students holding a Bachelor's degree in scientific and technical fields compatible with the training. A continuing education section is also set up.
Operations engineer, maintenance engineer, safety engineer, radiation protection engineer, design engineer, industrial quality engineer, project engineer, etc. are all activities that executives from this new training will be able to carry out in companies in the manufacturing sector. energy.
“The main objective of this Master is to mobilize several fundamental disciplines linked to energy, while meeting the expectations of the industrial world and its professional integration missions. For our students, this translates either into employment at Bac+5 or by pursuing a doctorate in this area of research. This course was implemented to promote or participate in the development of the employability of our students, but also to meet the training needs of employees throughout their professional lives. testifies Jean-Pierre VINEL, President of Toulouse III University – Paul Sabatier.
Sharing strong common values in terms of equal opportunities, the EDF Group in Occitanie and the University of Toulouse III – Paul Sabatier, are committed to ensuring fairness towards young people with disabilities, and to the feminization of this scientific sector.
The EDF Group in Occitania and Toulouse III University – Paul Sabatier pursues a partnership
Drawing on their respective know-how, the EDF Group in Occitanie and the University of Toulouse III – Paul Sabatier, decided to strengthen their collaboration and thus signed, on Thursday March 8, three partnership agreements, aimed at pooling their skills and promote synergies in terms of teaching, training and research.
“The primary objective of these partnership agreements is to pool the aspirations and interests of each individual, in terms of scientific and technological knowledge but also resources. We wish to facilitate the implementation of joint actions of mutual interest, in order to respond to the perspectives and challenges linked to the energy transition and thus train EDF employees of today and tomorrow. The rapprochement between higher education and businesses is one of the keys to the reindustrialization of the country. underlines Gilles CAPY, EDF Regional Delegate in Occitanie.
The way is thus open to a contribution from EDF staff to teaching cycles, to the reception and supervision of trainees from the University of Toulouse III – Paul Sabatier by EDF, to the training of EDF staff at the University of Toulouse III – Paul Sabatier. This new collaboration reinforces actions already carried out such as the creation of teaching and/or research chairs, the establishment of joint research teams, the sharing of resources, and the awarding of study grants.
“We are delighted with the establishment of this new partnership with EDF, leader in production and electricity supplier in France. A true meeting between the world of education and industry, these new, unique conventions aim to stimulate and carry out multidisciplinary projects, beneficial to our students and energy professionals, in particular EDF which has been able to pave the way to such cooperation. This collaboration should also contribute to the attractiveness of the Occitanie Region both nationally and internationally. welcomes Jean-Pierre VINEL, President of Toulouse III University – Paul Sabatier.
