Question 6565 — vocational training and apprenticeship

Summary

Indeed, Article 41 VII of Law No. 2016-1088 of August 8, 2016 relating to work, the modernization of social dialogue and the security of professional careers organized the transfer of the collection of the contribution to the professional training of craftsmen from the Public Treasury to the union for the recovery of social security contributions and family allowances (URSSAF) from January 1, 2018. In a logical harmonization with the schedules of the contribution to professional training paid by the liberal professions and traders, already recovered by the URSSAF, it was decided to call the contribution in November from the 2018 financial year. These changes have rightly raised concerns on the part of the stakeholders concerned, in particular for the funds financing the professional training of craftsmen (Training insurance fund for craft business leaders and training councils, emanating from the Chamber of Trades and Crafts). Indeed, the transfer of collection caused a difficulty for these Funds which did not have sufficient cash flow to finance the training for the year 2018, while waiting to receive the proceeds of the contributions collected by the URSSAF in November. Furthermore, the URSSAF are not authorized to make cash advances to these structures, as the Public Treasury previously did while awaiting payment of the contribution. The government is fully aware of these difficulties and has taken measures to guarantee sufficient cash flow for the funds to finance the professional training of artisans during the transitional period. Also, article 18 VIII of the bill “for the freedom of choose your professional future” provides for the possibility for the Central Agency of Social Security Organizations to agree in 2018 and 2019, against remuneration, to cash advances to the funds for financing the professional training of artisans.
