Orientation Culture je m'Active (OCA): making the vocational track a path of excellence like any other.
Orientation Nouveaux Horizons (ONH): supporting high school students from general and technological tracks in rural areas toward long and selective study paths to increase social and territorial diversity in Grande Écoles.
