The number of exhibitors should exceed 40 in 2018. In addition to companies from the civil and military naval sectors, the nautical industry will be present through the Mer Forte design office, the CDK Technologies shipyard or the Chantier de Bretagne Sud shipyard.

Training in the spotlight

The training courses are also presented on the show. The AFPA will propose in particular its training of racing boat preparer, while the Nautical Institute of Brittany (INB) will show the panel of its courses for the nautical industry.

"We will also have a space to attract trades, with models to better show the activity and give desire to candidates," explains Lise Hermite, in charge of the Pro&Mer exhibition within Bretagne Pole Naval.

1200 job offers in 2017

Candidates can submit their CVs online beforehand on the Pro&Mer website. The main objective is to facilitate recruitment, says Lise Hermite. "It is a little early to give a number of positions to be filled. In 2017, we had reached 1,200 job offers offered at the show. The goal is to limit the CV barrier. Throughout the fair, job datings are organized between recruiters and candidates. CV workshops with professionals and translators, are held during the fair to help with the writing of them."
