Episode 5 - Season 3 - Valentin Castel

Podcast

Présentation

🎙 Meet Valentin Castel — From a passion for sport to educational innovation

For this fifth episode of season 3 of the podcast The future is now, Paul Foutrel went to meet Valentin Castel, a passionate intrapreneur and now director of development and innovation at My Ambition.

A rich discussion, conducted at the heart of a fashion school in Marseille, between life course, audacity, intrapreneurship, apprenticeship and transformation of the educational world.

‍

🏀 An atypical, inspiring and deeply human journey

Before joining the world of education, Valentin Castel had a first professional life... on the parquet floors. A basketball coach from the age of 17, he quickly evolved to the management of training centers, with one objective: to help young people grow, on the court and in life.

This sense of commitment then led him to a well-thought-out retraining, where he was able to mobilize his human skills, his taste for challenge and his creativity in the training sector.

‍

🧠 Intrapreneurship as a driver

Chez My Ambition, Valentin is given a unique mission: to unleash his creative potential to bring out new educational projects with impact. It contributes to the launch of brands, innovative services (virtual reality, international mobility, automated CRM tools, etc.), and strong social initiatives.

His vision? A group rooted locally, but resolutely focused on sustainable professional integration, educational innovation, and social impact.

‍

💡 What you'll discover in the episode:

  • His transition from top-level sport to education, between passion and resilience.
  • The rise in power of the group My Ambition and its 6 brands in 4 years.
  • Innovative initiatives: immersive VR courses, international mobility, solutions against dropping out, integration of AI...
  • His perspective on the future of work-study, soft skills, the autonomy of learners and the new challenges of education.
