Securing an apprenticeship in France raises immediate questions about Parcoursup, contract types and how to approach recruiters. The Salon de L’Apprentissage, de L’Alternance et des Métiers de Marseille 2027 gathers practical resources for students and professionals seeking alternance opportunities.

Exhibitor profile and attending organizations
Participants include companies recruiting for alternance contracts, training centers, CFA and schools offering pathways such as BTS, BUT, licences and masters accessible through alternance. The show also features institutions that support searches for professionalization contracts.
Program and conference format
Journalists from L’Etudiant host conference sessions that cover the mechanics of alternance, Parcoursup guidance and career prospects after alternance. Sessions are typically 45 minutes and encourage interaction between attendees and speakers.
How to prepare B2B outreach and meetings
Use the online exhibitor list, published from Wednesday 27 January 2027, to map target organizations before arrival. Update your CV in digital form and consider having a limited number of printed copies. Prioritize contacts by role and prepare focused questions on recruitment timelines and contract conditions.
Attend relevant conferences to capture speaker names and organizational leads, then follow up at exhibitor stands. If registering a school group, follow the group registration process and download the invitations to present them on mobile; invitations are free and nominative.
