Question 12603 — vocational training and apprenticeship

Summary

Ms. Lisette Pollet questions the Minister of Labor and Solidarity on the Government's decision to end the financing of driving licenses through the personal training account (CPF), except for job seekers. The Government's decision to end the financing of driving licenses via the personal training account, except for job seekers, has sparked strong political and social protest. The CPF constitutes a right acquired by workers throughout their professional life. Restricting access only to the status of job seeker would prevent many citizens from anticipating their mobility needs, even though a driving license is, in many territories, an essential condition for access to or retention in employment. Its cost, estimated on average at nearly 1,800 euros, represents a major obstacle for low-income households. Every year, more than 300,000 people use their CPF to finance their license. This restriction would deprive workers of a tool to secure their professional career and would, paradoxically, risk worsening situations of precariousness and unemployment. This decision will also have direct economic repercussions for driving schools. A significant part of their activity today relies on CPF financing, which represents up to a quarter of students in certain establishments. With a high average hourly cost and a significant volume of hours required for training, the expected drop in registrations threatens the economic balance of these non-relocatable local businesses, as well as the jobs they generate. By restricting access to the CPF for the driving license, the Government takes the risk of slowing down mobility, complicate access to employment and worsen inequalities between workers, while weakening a local economic sector already under pressure. She therefore wishes to know whether the Government intends to abandon the restriction on the use of the CPF for the driving license only to job seekers and favor a more balanced approach, consisting of maintaining an open but supervised use of the CPF for the license, accompanied where appropriate a capping of expenditure making it possible to reconcile mobility and access to employment.
