Equi-ressources

Created in May 2007, « équi-ressources » is a platform for information and services whose aim is to match job offers and applications regarding employments and internships in the horse industry. This organisation is the result of a partnership between the Equine Cluster (Pôle de compétitivité filière équine), the French Employment Agency (Pôle emploi), the Regional Council of Normandy (conseil regional de Basse Normandie) and the IFCE.

Its main objective is to centralise data and making it more accessible. The quality of the network of partners is a key factor in the efficiency of the system.

The International Dimension of Equi-ressources

The department also has an international dimension, with the double task of :

  • offering job opportunities for French people abroad in order to improve the international growth of the French equine know-how,
  • fostering the development of vocational courses in France for foreigners.
