Question 16439 — vocational training and apprenticeship

Summary

Mr. Lionel Vuibert draws the attention of the Minister Delegate to the Minister of Labor and Solidarity and the Minister of National Education, responsible for vocational education and training and apprenticeship, to the growing financial difficulties encountered by apprentice training centers (CFA). While apprenticeship constitutes an essential lever for the professional integration of young people and response to recruitment needs of companies, CFAs are today facing several developments likely to lastingly weaken their economic balance. On the one hand, the apprenticeship support fund paid by the State to the regions via France Competences, intended to finance the operation and investments of CFAs, has seen a particularly significant decrease. After a national envelope of 268.2 million euros in 2024 and in 2025, a decree of May 28, 2026 reduced this envelope to only 33 million euros for the year 2026, a drop of almost 88%. This reduction compromises the ability of regions to continue their support for CFAs. On the other hand, after several years of decline in the levels of support (NPEC) for apprenticeship contracts, the increases announced by France Compétences appear insufficient to compensate for the losses. recorded. For training in construction and public works, the announced increase represents around 6% over a full year but will only concern new contracts signed from the start of the 2026 school year, with a limited effect on the current financial year. In a context marked by significant recruitment needs in the building trades, public works and more broadly in the technical and industrial sectors, this This situation raises serious concerns about the sustainability of certain CFAs, the maintenance of a local training offer and the capacity of France to achieve its learning objectives. He therefore asks what measures the Government intends to implement to guarantee long-term funding for CFAs, compensate for the effects of the reduction in the apprenticeship support fund and ensure establishments the means necessary to pursue their missions in the service of young people, businesses and regions.
