To help young people blossom and develop vocations and businesses, the center offers innovative training programs that emphasize hands-on experience, collaboration and knowledge of trades and materials, as well as shared workshop spaces.
Currently operating on a pilot site of 1,000m2, the Versailles Campus is currently undergoing a works campaign that will see it occupy both wings of the Grande Écurie by 2026, representing 6,000m2 of space dedicated to training courses, exhibitions, artisans' residences and an application restaurant.
The Campus has set itself 4 key missions to promote and support the renewal of these sectors: training, guidance and education.
