The Institut Bleu is launching a new edition of the Pre-Sea Adaptability Program (PAP’mer), a project designed to support individuals interested in pursuing careers in the maritime sector , particularly as commercial fishermen. In partnership with the Regional Committee for Marine Fisheries and Aquaculture of Réunion (CRPMEM), France Travail andthe Maritime Apprenticeship School, this program offers participants the opportunity to test their skills and motivation before enrolling in a vocational training program in the maritime sector.
Following the conclusion of the last sessionin December 2025, we’re looking forward to the 4th edition!
🌊 What's on the agenda
- Tides Revealed,
