Question 21766 — vocational training and apprenticeship

Summary

Law No. 2018-771 of September 5, 2018 for the freedom to choose one's professional future refounded our apprenticeship system on three very simple principles: - The freedom to create or develop an apprentice training center (CFA) in our country, by removing administrative or legal obstacles - The freedom for companies to hire young people in apprenticeships, by removing constraints of various kinds and by simplifying the entire business environment in this area - Improving apprentice status, with an increase in remuneration for those under 20 or assistance with driving licenses for example.  The impetus is given, since in 2018, the strongest increase in the number of apprentices since 1996, i.e. 7.7%, was recorded. This dynamic accelerated further in the first half of 2019, with the record number of apprentices ever trained in our country in June 2019 (458,000). With regard specifically to the demand from the chambers of trade, which train nearly one apprentice in three in our country, it should first of all be emphasized that they wish to benefit from the new financing system put in place by the reform from this year, and not wait until January 1, 2020. In other words, the chambers want the apprenticeship reform to come into force more quickly. force than what was planned, because the new system is simpler, faster, more secure, more advantageous than the old Malthusian system. The Minister of Labor also emphasizes that the chambers of trade can already benefit from the new financing system. Thus, all new contracts signed outside of regional agreements benefit, from this year, from “contract cost”. This applies to existing sections, for new sections or for new CFAs beyond the amount that was financed by the region. In order to further accelerate the momentum given by the reform, the Minister of Labor indicates that after numerous fruitful and constructive discussions with Mr. Bernard Stalter, President of CMA France, and after consultation with the President of the Republic and the Prime Minister, she decided to allow the trade chambers, as with all the CFAs created before the law, to be able to benefit from the new financing system from September 1, 2019, if they wish. Thus, the chambers will have, four months earlier than initially planned, all the new means created by the law of September 5, 2018 to massively develop apprenticeships, contribute to the reduction of youth unemployment and meet the skills needs of craft businesses.
