Developing skills in the mobility sector
CARA is a co-sponsor of two actions under the French government’s Attractiveness, Skills and Employment (ACE) investment plan (PIA2). The first is the Campus des Métiers et des Qualifications Auto’mobilités. The second is the experimentation of the Employment-Skills Platforms.

- Promote the industry and improve professional integration into the mobility sector
The Auto’mobilités campus includes

- Business and associative partners
Main actions of the campus
In 2019, 3 training courses have been co-created: Architecture of Hybrid & Electric Vehicles, Sustainable Development, and Li-ion Batteries.

Employment / skills platform
The diversity of the sector’s professions is such that some companies have difficulty recruiting people with the skills and training needed to develop, while others need to upgrade the skills of some of their employees to adapt to changes in the sector, such as the digitalization of production tools and manufactured products.
In order to respond to this ambiguity, which is characteristic of the sector’s professions, an experiment is being carried out as part of the PIA ACE project in specific employment areas: the Employment-Skills Platforms.
It is being implemented jointly by the Arthur Hunt Group and CARA.
Its objective is to promote skills mobility in an employment area by identifying the obstacles and the ways they can be overcome, and thus help companies recruit the employees they need, and support candidates in their job search.
In 2020, 3 Employment-Skills platforms were created in the Bourg en Bresse, Ardèche Nord and Rhône Nord areas.
