What Campus des Métiers et des Qualifications d'Excellence - Tourisme et Innovation Hauts-de-France does

Campus des Métiers et des Qualifications d'Excellence - Tourisme et Innovation Hauts-de-France (operating as Campus Tourisme Innovation des Hauts-de-France) is a publicly-supported educational consortium headquartered in Le Touquet, France, that coordinates vocational training across approximately 16 partner educational establishments in the Hauts-de-France region. The campus serves learners and professionals in the tourism, hospitality, hotel management, and culinary sectors through three modalities: initial schooling, apprenticeship, and continuing education. Programs include BTS Tourism, CAP Cuisine, BAC Professionnel, BP Arts de la Cuisine, and BTS MHR (Management en Hôtellerie-Restauration), delivered through member lycées such as Lycée Boucher de Perthes in Abbeville/Perthes and Lycée Polyvalent Vauban in Aire-sur-la-Lys. The campus also runs the IKIGAI digital platform (monprojetproikigai.fr) for career guidance and training-employment networking across the hospitality-tourism filière.

The entity operates as a coordination layer rather than a direct training provider. Its core offerings are network orchestration, program certification pathways, and stakeholder convening across educational establishments, employers, and public authorities. Research and innovation activity is conducted through partnerships such as ALIMCARE, a sustainable-food initiative co-developed with UniLasalle. Revenue mechanics are not commercially disclosed; operations appear to be funded through French regional and national educational budgets, with training programs largely free or subsidized. GTM motion is community-led and partner-driven: marketing channels include the campus website, a monthly newsletter, international exchanges (e.g., Dublin/FICAHT), and community outreach events such as collaborations with Mission Locale and Chop Ton Job La Madeleine. Strategic positioning emphasizes professionalization, cooperation, research, openness, and innovation across the regional hospitality-tourism labor pipeline.
