The naming ceremony for the Class of 2028 of the ISAE Group’s apprenticeship-based Industrial Engineering program for Aeronautics and Space took place on Friday, June 12, 2026, at the ISAE-Supméca campus.

Marie-Hélène Baroux, President of the ISAE Group and Director General of ISAE-SUPAERO, was joined by Sawsen Ayari-Pouliquen, Director of Social Affairs and Training at GIFAS, and the directors of the schools delivering the program to present the ISAE Group badge to the 86 apprentices of the Class of 2028. Program managers and industry representatives—acting as apprenticeship mentors—were present to support the apprentices they will be guiding throughout their training.

For Marie-Hélène Baroux, beyond strengthening bonds among the apprentices, "this ceremony marks their commitment to their training and should enable them to better grasp the full range of opportunities offered by this curriculum." Practicing engineers who graduated from this apprenticeship program shared their experiences, helping the apprentices visualize their training path in concrete terms and look ahead to their professional futures.

A program supported by GIFAS

Supported by GIFAS (the French Aerospace Industries Association), this program is delivered by four ISAE Group schools: ISAE-SUPAERO (Toulouse), ISAE-ENSMA (Poitiers), ISAE-SUPMÉCA (Paris-Saint-Ouen), and ESTACA (Laval).

Sawsen Ayari-Pouliquen notes: "GIFAS is delighted to support the ISAE Group in rolling out this program, which is both requested and highly anticipated by our companies. We wish the 86 apprentice engineers in this class every success in their studies, at their schools, and within the aerospace industry."
