Long confined to early pre-tertiary school-leaver training and often synonymous with academic\nfailure, sandwich training has experienced a remarkable turnaround, debunking common\nmisconceptions and gaining ground in higher education. Sandwich training improves academic\nsuccess rates and school-to-work transition prospects, making it both a pathway to excellence\nand a gateway into employment by keeping a clear tack in the face of socialââ?¬â??economic\nheadwindsââ?¬â?especially for young graduates. The factors involved are primarily education driven\n(academic success, best-in-class graduates, etc.), but where sandwich training really\nfloats is in the job market, by co-potentializing both school-to-work transition and\nemployability. The Corsica-region University-sponsored Placements & Apprenticeships Service\n[CFA UNIV], as regional leader in post-secondary sandwich placement (65% of sandwich placement\nstudents in Corsica), is therefore structurally engaged as a facilitator of the island wide\neconomy, providing business and industry with a pipeline of core skill sets while readying\nthem to rise to tomorrowââ?¬â?¢s economic and human resources challenges. This paper attempts to\nhighlight this very real trajectory by reporting the lessons learned from Corsica-region CFA\nUNIV experience.
