Whether in a club, league, company, association or local authority, future professionals can rely on FORMAPI's made-to-measure training courses to help them find their professional path. Whether it's soccer, basketball, rugby, swimming, judo, equestrian sports, cycling, canoeing, golf, fitness or social tourism, FORMAPI's catalog offers nearly 70 training courses. "This year, we are training more than 1,600 apprentices in the various sports management professions, from coaches and educators to club managers", explains Olivier Fouquet, Managing Director of FORMAPI. With the Paris 2024 Olympic Games just around the corner, the sporting craze linked to the event should also help to multiply needs. "Some regions are struggling to find profiles to match with job offers. We're here to help," explains Bernard Depierre, president and founder of FORMAPI.

Meeting local employment needs

With a success rate of 78% and an employability rate of 80%, FORMAPI's trainees multiply their chances of joining the professional world of sport. "90% of employers are clubs, leagues or associations, and only 10% are local authorities, even though medium-sized towns and cities have needs in areas such as after-school care and socio-cultural centers," adds Bernard Depierre. Training courses, from level 3 to level 7, with or without a Baccalaureate and up to Master 2, cover all sectors. "Wherever there is a sporting diploma and a need, if we have enough candidates, we can open a class," concludes Olivier Fouquet. All FORMAPI teams are fully mobilized to guarantee the best possible administrative and pedagogical welcome for its trainees, as well as the most effective follow-up with local branches and companies. Our credo is the professional success of our young people.
