CHOP’ TON JOB ! (get your job)

Mar. 16, 2026

On Friday, March 13, 2026, PFT Innovaltech participated in the first "Chop' ton job" event organized by the Amiens Education Board with the partnership of the Campus of Trades and Qualifications (CMQ) of the Hauts-de-France region. This participatory career exploration forum was held in Péronne.

Aimed at fourth-grade students, it offers them a first participatory immersion in the professional world, allowing them to experience professional gestures rather than simply being spectators.

PFT Innovaltech offered these middle school students a demonstration of 3D printing and the opportunity to use a 3D scanner. Of the 900 eighth-grade students from 11 participating middle schools, approximately 10% interacted and/or used the equipment at the booth.
