Wishing to become better known, intellectual services professions in engineering, consulting and digital, united within the Cinov Réunion-Mayotte regional federation, elected Élodie Cortes as president at the general assembly in early May. The following month, a first public intervention presented the federation, the high value added services that it represents and their role in the local economy, as well as its future human resource needs.
Au plan national, the Cinov federation of trades in the provision of intellectual services brings together 14 trade unions and 14 regional federations, which represent 100,000 companies (99,5% of VSE-SME), 154 billion euros in turnover and 1,200,000 employees. “The role of engineers is to apply science and technology to achieve societal goals, especially for future generations, by strengthening the resilience of our territory in the face of climate change and pressure on resources”, explains Élodie Cortes, new president of the Cinov Réunion-Mayotte federation. DPE engineer graduate, energy and environment at the National Institute of Applied Sciences of Lyon, Élodie Cortes made a career as a studies and works manager, technical director, then manager of the Fluids design office at EDEX Ingénierie. She is, otherwise, president of the ESIROI school council, which trains engineers capable of designing, manage and implement eco-responsible technological solutions. Engineering design offices, digital and management consulting represented by the Cinov federation are part of an ecosystem specific to Overseas with challenges sometimes different from those of France, for example in terms of human resources (recruitment difficulties), of climate (tropical), of standards (evolution of cyclone standards) or even economic fabric.
The ambitions of the federation
The Cinov Réunion-Mayotte regional federation held a press conference on June 26 to present its missions and objectives, his new office, as well as the study by the Digital Professions Observatory, engineering, advice and events (CARE) in the meeting. This prospective study on the professions of the BETIC * branch in Reunion contributes to a better knowledge of the professions in this sector by presenting an assessment of the human resources of its jobs and its future needs. The federation wishes, among others, create a directory of professions in the BETIC branch in Réunion-Mayotte, in order to create synergies between the different branches of these professions. “We will contribute to developing training – BIM, design office technicians, engineers with the ESIROI school, etc. – to improve skills. We will also work to make our know-how in bioclimatism known., with the construction laboratory in a tropical climate, and to increase the circular economy and the recovery of waste in Reunion and Mayotte. »
* The BETIC Branch is made up of the digital sectors, engineering, of the council, of the event and the translation.
