Question 8031 ​​— vocational training and apprenticeship

Summary

Mr. Benoît Biteau draws the attention of the Minister of the Economy, Finance and Industrial and Digital Sovereignty to the critical situation of the National Agency for Adult Vocational Training (AFPA), a public establishment created in 1949, which plays an essential role in the qualification of people furthest from employment, thanks to a dense territorial network and more than 900 training courses accessible throughout the life. While the AFPA trains nearly 93,000 people each year, including 50,000 job seekers, a confidential note from Bercy and recently revealed by the press indicates that the institution is directly threatened. The experts mandated by the Government are recommending radical decisions, including the elimination of the annual subsidy of 210 million euros, the reduction of the scope of its missions and the transfer of part of its real estate assets. The AFPA could therefore be sacrificed in the name of strictly accounting logic, even though a report from a consulting firm demonstrates that its training is more effective than other existing systems and that it produces economic benefits greater than their cost, thus confirming its social and economic profitability. He also emphasizes that the note emanating from Bercy suggests that the The most social missions of the AFPA, in particular those intended for the groups most in difficulty, could be the first targeted by the cuts, without the human and territorial consequences of such decisions being really measured and taken into account. In this context, he asks him if he intends to act with determination to preserve the existence of the AFPA, by ensuring the maintenance of its financing, its missions and its jobs, in order to safeguard a public tool essential to social cohesion, the emancipation of individuals and equal access to training throughout the territory?
