Question 36385 — vocational training and apprenticeship

Summary

Mr. Sylvain Maillard draws the attention of the Minister of Labor, Employment and Integration to the age limit of 30 years to be able to conclude an apprenticeship contract. Indeed, in his constituency, Mr. MP was questioned by the National Union of French Furniture Industries, concerning the training of adults in the process of professional retraining wishing to move towards the profession of organ building. There transmitting their globally recognized French know-how, labeled “living heritage company”, is a long process given the complexity of their profession, and the path of work-study apprenticeship remains the best way to achieve this. However, French rules setting an age limit of 30 years for being able to conclude an apprenticeship contract block their training processes for people over 30 wishing to carry out a professional reconversion. Their profession does not have a solution to train these candidates in a framework that is economically supportable by their craft businesses. Faced with a strong resumption of calls for tenders for works of great importance throughout France, the president of the French furniture organ builders, Patrick Armand, also told him that his institution was not able to fully respond to this request. Furthermore, the age pyramid of organ building company directors shows a predominance of people aged 55 and over, which implies the need to train successors in the next 10 years, so that their know-how does not disappear. He would like to know if it is possible to study rules derogating from the age limit for concluding an apprenticeship contract, concerning artistic professions, as for the profession of organ building.
