The strength of skills in the company

Starting in 1975, FORTEX was created by professional organisations  in order to deal with the problems of human resource management  encountered by companies  already confronting  the signs of the complete economic revolution of globalisation.

Job

To satisfy – as much as possible –  all requests for training , made by:

  • Textile companies and the connected sectors of Fashion and Leather.
  • Job seekers via the structures which are responsible for helping them.

This vocation stretches geographically across:  Midi-Pyrénées, Aquitaine, Languedoc-Roussillon and Limousin.

Positioning: a very strong commitment

Considering the diversity of questions posed by companies in matters of:

  • human resource management
  • improving skills in all areas (strategy, marketing, sales, communication, financing, production techniques, innovation...)

FORTEX deliberately doesn't formalize its offer in the form of a catalogue, which is inherently fixed and formatted, preferring to build the most specific offer possible each time a need is expressed.


It is this constraining but efficient practice which makes FORTEX stands out from its competitors.

Offer

It is hinged around a group of large themes which structure management:

  • Self-Improvement on the job: a set of professional industrial techniques
  • Responding to the company's adaptation requirements:  technical evolution, organisational changes, flexibility of individuals....
  • Recruting/offering skills: matching skill requirements and offers
  • Validating professional experience: issuing of professional credentials
  • Skills transfer: not only the saving and transfer of skills and expertise but a way of boosting oneself back into the workforce

This offer is available in individual or group form.
