“This 1^er partnership in the Antilles and Guyana with the Lycée Professionnel de Blanchet de Basse-Terre, the only private establishment under contract providing industrial, maritime and aeronautical training on its territory, is in line with the development of the Airwell Academy. Our objectives: to promote training as well as the transmission of the expertise of the Airwell brand and our teams in the world of refrigeration. It is also a response to the lack of qualified labor in our sector and a boost to the development of employment in the French Overseas Territories and in France” explains Laurent Roegel, CEO of the Airwell Group.

« Blanchet high school has more than 30 years of experience in energy training since 2012. The offer has been extended to renewable energies. Furthermore, our knowledge of the professional environment, our project to practice a school without walls and open to the world, strongly push us to establish this type of partnership, the priority being to provide our students with quality teaching, in ideal material conditions. In addition, we are delighted to cooperate with a company invested in training, serving young people » underlines Olivier Racca, Marketing Director Antilles Airwell Group/Airwell Academy.
