DESIGN OF STEEL STRUCTURE AND FAÇADE
Design of metal structures is on the rise and training in this field brings great career prospects. Two excellent reasons for the company SOTTAS SA, in collaboration with 3 other companies in the branch, to join forces. Together, they decided to build a Metal School in Bulle and to offer young people the opportunity to train as a metal builder.

Program of the training
This structure is responsible for supervising and training apprentices during their 1st year. A full-time training manager provides them with a very complete basic training using practical exercises and carrying out small production work for the 4 associated companies.
From the 2nd to the 4th year, the apprentices return to the company under the responsibility of the apprenticeship supervisor and thus complete the solid background acquired during the 1st year. Throughout the apprenticeship, the Metal School trainer works with the company apprenticeship masters and oversees the training program. It organizes a practical revision course in the 3rd and 4th year to prepare for the CFC.
Improvement of quality
Increasing the quality of training is a driving force behind the project. Particular attention is therefore devoted to it, considering the transfer of knowledge and the achievement of concrete objectives.
In order to perpetuate this training, the 4 companies have decided to build a structure specific to the School and to provide apprentices with high quality premises; The inauguration of the new building took place in the fall of 2015.
