This training itinerary is part the 2021-2023 programming at the Marble School. It includes eight actions, seven itineraries of different specialties, and a FPE Teaching Course. Three of these have been launched. This programming includes internships in companies and totals 3,910 hours of teaching. It is targeted at 120 people who are unemployed.

For students who are unable to pay for tuition or accommodation, they can apply for grants and scholarships for Vocational Training for Employment. These grants and scholarships cover transportation, maintenance, accommodation, and conciliation for children aged 6 and under, or dependent family members.
