Introduction to financing categories
Training procedures are available in the following categories:
AFPR (Action de Formation Préalable au Recrutement - training prior to recruitment)
Fixed-term contracts (CDD) of 6 to 12 months,
Fixed-term professionalisation contracts of less than 12 months,
Temporary work contracts of at least 6 months in the 9 months following the training, if the planned assignments are closely linked to the AFPR.
POE (Préparation Opérationnelle à l'Emploi - Operational preparation for employment)
Open-ended contracts and fixed-term contracts of at least 12 months,
Professionalisation contracts for an indefinite period (CDI) or a fixed term of at least 12 months,
Apprenticeship contracts of at least 12 months.
Individual Operational Preparation for Employment
This form of POE meets a company's specific needs. A contract will be signed between the jobseeker and the employer, with the approval of Pôle Emploi, enabling the jobseeker to follow a training course fully subsidised by the public body.
Operational preparation for group employment
This form of POE responds to training needs in a sector of activity identified according to the policy of the State and Pôle Emploi. The details of the contract vary according to the jobseeker's situation.
Similarly, through Pôle Emploi, Atlas is helping to fund this scheme to help you find qualified staff.
Regional Training for Employment Programme
The Regional Training Programme (PRF) is funded by the Regional Council. These are collective training initiatives for which places are purchased by the Regional Council on the basis of local skills needs.
These are free training courses for anyone wishing to gain a qualification or enhance their skills.
Personal Training Account
The Personal Training Account (CPF) enables anyone in employment to acquire training rights that can be used throughout their working life.
The aim of the Personal Training Account (PTA) is to enable:
-
Self-initiated contributions.
-
Maintaining employability.
-
Making career paths more secure.
