    I MIGHT AS WELL TELL YOU THAT I WAS FAR FROM HIGH TECHNOLOGY!

    Cécile Ghesquière's story.
    Extracts.

    "My career path was built up through successive professional training courses, but it was chaotic. Medical-social secretary with a diploma of technical assistant in family and collective environment, with a CAP dedicated to the elderly; then a job of accounting secretary, and, finally, of auxiliary of school life at the college of St Just-en-Chaussée.
    I followed and accompanied dyslexic children there. It was very interesting but with a fragile work contract that required me to look for...

    And then, in 2013, I came across an ad AQLE on Pôle Emploi.
    They were looking for a person to join a training course on a professionalization contract.
    With my previous jobs, you might as well say that I was far from high tech! There were a lot of people, but I was lucky enough to be preselected to take tests there.

    I remember screaming with happiness
    A few days later, I remember screaming with happiness when I learned of my admission to take this exam at AFPA! I just had to believe in it and hang on to go all the way.
    After 3 months of training at AFPA, I put on the AQLE gown from March 2013 to September 2014 under a professionalization contract. Finally, at the end of these 18 exciting months - Phew! -, I passed the exam. This allowed me to return to my colleagues, but this time with the great satisfaction of a permanent contract.

    Training is moving forward.
    In 2018, I was offered a training course dedicated to quality. Having always wanted to learn, move forward and evolve, I seized this opportunity. That's how, since 2019, I act for the AQLE wire island as a QRQC (Quick Response Quality Control) facilitator.
    It's very motivating to understand that you are trusted, that you are being counted on to make things happen.

    My job as a "prototypist" involves spending a lot of time at customer sites.
    I'm like a conveyor belt, since it involves "learning" our customers' products, so I can then train my colleagues at AQLE. <Recently, I have worked with Safran, Matra électronique and our colleagues at SOMALEC.

    I have really found a job that I like. I can see that I'm blossoming year after year since I've been here. And then, at AQLE, I'll always have something to learn, because we always have to be in a dynamic of progress and quality."
