The Exhibition Centre of Villeneuve-sur-Lot hosts the Ambition and Future 2026 Fair from November 16 to 20, a week dedicated to career orientation for 3rd-grade students from Lot-et-Garonne.

This initiative aims to immerse young people in professional practices, allowing them to discover jobs, meet professionals, and envision their future. The fair welcomes approximately 4,000 middle schoolers annually.
The afternoon of Wednesday, November 18, will be more broadly open to the public, focusing on family discovery, as well as welcoming job seekers, lead teachers, and career development advisors.
Organized around fifteen career clusters, the fair will highlight future jobs, cutting-edge New Aquitaine training programs, and in-demand professions.
Visitors can explore stands dedicated to training and apprenticeship pathways, participate in practical simulations, experiments, hands-on activities, and virtual reality immersions, while meeting professionals.
A new feature this year is an area of nearly 200 m² entirely dedicated to professions in early childhood, care, health, disability, elder care, and social work. Supported by the Departmental Council, this space will allow young people to experiment, exchange, and discover the diversity of these careers through demonstrations and encounters with professionals, high school students, and university students.
