However, the event is changing location. The stands will occupy the Ermitage-Compostelle (10, rue Bertrand-Hauret). Part of the park (of the Hermitage) will be used for demonstrations. The objective is to attract young audiences (middle school, high school and university students). “We mainly come to provide information on jobs in the gendarmerie and the Ministry of the Armed Forces. Our colleagues from customs, the national police or the Sdis (fire brigade) will do the same,” says Commander Richard Barthout, head of the Cirfa air office in Bordeaux.
Attract with demonstrations
“It is possible to transpose a huge number of civilian qualities and skills within our institutions. The national gendarmerie recruits almost 13,000 people per year from 17 to 35 years old, from candidates without a diploma to Bac + 5. And this, in more than 350 professions, underlines Major Tony Brunet, head of the information and recruitment center from Bordeaux. You can be, under the status of gendarme, plumber, electrician, etc. » “A woman with a personal assistance diploma became an armorer at BA 106 in Bordeaux-Mérignac through training,” adds Commander Barthout, emphasizing the motivation.
To better reach the range of professions, speakers will deploy equipment. The army will install a helicopter simulator and an intervention machine. Rail security will carry out drone demonstrations, customs officers will work with dogs. For its part, the national gendarmerie will come with a driving simulator and law enforcement vehicles. A crime scene with forensics that will raise awareness of the role of scientific experts.
At the end of the day (at 7 p.m.), the Hermitage-Compostelle room will host a meeting (free entry) on the theme of commitment to the army and high-level sport. Four athletes from the Ministry of the Armed Forces will testify. Among them, an army veteran, injured in the war in Afghanistan, who has participated twice in the Invictus Games, a sporting competition reserved for former soldiers.
