Question 4887 — vocational training and apprenticeship

Summary

Mr. Philippe Latombe draws the attention of the Minister of Labor to the minimum age condition required to sign an apprenticeship contract and the inequality of status within the apprenticeship course itself that it entails between a young person who would have been born at the end of the year and one of his classmates born before the start of the school year. The Government plans to reform apprenticeship so that these training courses are better valued and attract more people. of students. Indeed, the excellent professional integration rates which are the result, reflect the relevance and effectiveness of this type of education in the fight against youth unemployment and also in the effort to match the skills of job seekers arriving on the labor market and the positions to be filled in companies including SMEs/ETIs. The law for the refoundation of the School of the Republic specifies the conditions of access to apprenticeship for young people under 15 years of age. The signing of an apprenticeship contract cannot be concluded before the 15th anniversary date and provided that the young person has completed their third year cycle. In accordance with Decree No. 2014-1031 of September 10, 2014, young people reaching the age of 15 before the end of the calendar year can be registered under school status in a training center apprentices to begin their professional training. This training includes periods of professional training (PFMP). This system allows young people born at the end of the year to join apprenticeship training like their schoolmates born at the start of the year. However, these young people do not have apprentice status unlike their peers. In addition to the elements of remuneration and welfare linked to the employment contract of the apprentice, the situation of the student under educational status is much more precarious, the contractual relationship not yet being established between the student and the company. The MP also drew the attention of the Minister of National Education, through written question no. 4164 published in the Official Journal on December 26, 2017 page 6635, to a comparable problem from the fourth grade for young people under 14 years old. looking for orientation classes allowing the discovery and observation of companies through observation sequences in a work-study environment and not having access to them. European Directive 94/33, in Article 4 paragraph 2 b), explains that “Member States may, by legislative or regulatory means, provide that the prohibition of child labor does not apply: to children aged at least fourteen years who work within the framework of a work-study training or internship system, provided that this work is carried out in accordance with the conditions prescribed by the competent authority. He asks him if it would not be more relevant to align the possibility of signing an apprenticeship contract with the end of the 3rd cycle and the validation of the common base of knowledge and skills.
