Know-How Transmission Award

Intended for students, graduates and adults undergoing retraining, the Know-How Transfer Awards provide an opportunity to gain significant professional experience with concrete projects, to perfect know-how
and to observe the day-to-day running of a company.

Each candidate must first make arrangements with an experienced craftsman or craftswoman, whose workshop is in Paris or in the inner suburbs, where they can gain a better understanding of the specificities of the trade for which they are destined, and of the realities of the life of a company. In the case of rare trades, the host company may be located outside the Île de France. The 12-month internships begin in January or April, depending on the winner's choice.

For the 2023 edition, 23 prizes were awarded by the City of Paris and by the sponsors: the Rémy Cointreau Foundation, the Michelle and Antoine Riboud Foundation, the 19 M, the French Federation of Leather Goods and the Alliance for European Flax-Linen & Hemp via the Endowment Fund for the Ateliers de Paris
