Selected as one of the 10 finalists for the Occitanie region in the very first edition of the “My Apprenticeship in 180 Seconds” public speaking contest, Malaury Fouet—an ISAE-SUPAERO engineering apprentice at Airbus—has just won first prize!
A public speaking competition to promote apprenticeships
“My Apprenticeship in 180 Seconds (MA180s)” is a public speaking competition organised by CFA Midisup, in collaboration with the CFA des Universités Centre-Val de Loireand theANASUP network.
The aim of this project is to showcase higher education apprentices through a challenge:
- To describe their apprenticeship experience in 180 seconds flat.
In three minutes, each candidate must give an insight into their journey, their responsibilities, their achievements and what the work-study programme has brought them.
What counts? Eloquence, the ability to explain technical terms and to make the link between your work responsibilities and your work-study programme.
Much more than just a public speaking challenge, this competition is arewarding experience that helps develop key skills such as public speaking, structuring a speech, communication and self-confidence.
Out of the 50 apprentice candidates from across Occitanie, ten finalists were selected back in February to take part in the competition final held on 11 June.
This selection marked the start of several months of intensive preparation, including three coaching sessions led by drama teachers.
Since applications were submitted in January, a great deal of groundwork has been carried out: successive rewrites of the texts, careful consideration of word choice, rhythm, intonation and the intention behind each sentence, all with a view to crafting a performance that is both authentic and impactful.
At the end of the three minutes allotted to present her background, her learning journey and what this experience has brought her – both professionally and personally – it was Malaury Fouet who ultimately won first prize in this very first edition of the competition.
A look back at her journey and her experience 👇

Winner of the MA180s competition
- Surname – First name: Malaury Fouet
- Education: Industrial Engineering degree
- Company: Airbus
Through my participation in the ‘My Apprenticeship in 180 Seconds’ competition, I wanted to send a strong message about equal opportunities.
By recounting my journey, from my rural home in Ariège to the Airbus hangars, I wanted to show that an apprenticeship can be a fantastic stepping stone to an engineering degree, which can sometimes seem out of reach.
This competition was also an opportunity to pay tribute to the people who believed in me, particularly my maths teacher, Laetitia, who recognised my interest in aeronautics when I was just 11 years old and encouraged me to pursue this path.
This recognition has now strengthened my commitment to secondary school pupils, particularly through the OSE L’ISAE-SUPAERO association, to encourage them to believe in their ambitions and never give up on their dreams.
Finally, this challenge gave me the opportunity to shed light on my day-to-day life as an apprentice at Airbus by explaining, in just three minutes, my responsibilities and how the theoretical knowledge gained at university complements the practical experience acquired in the workplace.
“What stands out most for me is the realisation that a simple message can sometimes open a door.
So if you’re in doubt, if you’re hesitating, if you think a dream is too far out of reach: start dreaming and never stop.”
The inaugural edition of the competition was a resounding success thanks tothe commitment of our partners, speakers, jury members and the public!
