The Arverne Group has received a €395,585 grant from the Nouvelle-Aquitaine Region to strengthen the company's geothermal drilling training work.
French geothermal player Arverne Group has been awarded a EUR395,585 grant by the Nouvelle-Aquitaine Region, with support from the European Social Fund, for geothermal drilling training. The grant supports the momentum of the company as it continues with initiatives including internal training, mentoring, and professional retraining, to strengthen employee skills and support career transitions into technical roles in the geothermal sector.
“Drilling is a strategic expertise we have been developing since the Group was founded. By strengthening this key expertise, Arverne — the only integrated supplier of geothermal solutions in France — is actively contributing to the structuring of the geothermal sector and supporting its scaling up.” said Pierre Brossollet, founder and CEO of Arverne Group.
This grant is part of the call for projects “Support and Anticipation of Economic Transformations and Training for the Employed Workforce.” It will enable Arverne Drilling Services, a subsidiary of the Group, to implement an ambitious program focused on knowledge transfer and continuous professional development.
Arverne continues to support geothermal growth in France through its subsidiaries, 2gré and Lithium de France. Earlier this year, 2gré was awarded the contract for the construction and operation of a geothermal heating network for the communes of Clichy-sous-Bois and Livry-Gargan in the eastern suburbs of Paris. Meanwhile, Lithium de France has started initial work for drilling operations for the company’s geothermal heat and lithium project located in the Bas-Rhin region in Alsace.
