International Cooperation at Faculté des métiers
Let’s build the future of vocational training — together.
For over 40 years, we have been supporting young people in building their career paths.
Born from the shared ambition of the Chambers of Commerce and Industry of Ille-et-Vilaine and Morbihan, the Faculté des Métiers is committed to one clear goal:
helping every individual access the profession of their choice and find their place in society.
Whether you are a training centre, a placement agency, or a business seeking to host international talent, we invite you to join our mission: to make mobility and cooperation a pillar of tomorrow’s professional education.

Who we are
Faculté des métiers is the vocational training centre of the Chambers of Commerce and Industry of Ille-et-Vilaine and Morbihan, created over 40 years ago to help young people access meaningful careers through hands-on, work-based learning.
We specialise in initial vocational training through apprenticeship, from lower secondary to Master’s level, and welcome more than 2,300 apprentices each year across five campuses in Brittany:
- Rennes (Bruz) – Campus de Ker Lann

As part of the wider training mission of our Chambers of Commerce, we also work closely with CCI Formation Ille-et-Vilaine Morbihan, which delivers continuing education and upskilling programmes for adult learners.
We offers dual system training from French middle school (EQF level 3) to Master’s Degree (EQF level 7). Our on-going presence and support to companies and professional organisations have enabled us to become a famous and recognized stakeholder within the training landscape, whether through vocational training or via continuing professional education for adults.
