This effort of the state in addition to that already agreed in July. Social Conference on 7 and 8 July was marked by the concern of the social partners before the meltdown of alternation (- 7.5% between 2011 and 2013 for learning and – 14% for training contracts). Businesses complained for months that the government has removed 550 million euros in state aid to the alternation. They also regretted the reform of the apprenticeship tax, passed in March 2014: the bosses denounced a substantial loss to the regions, their ability to finance these free training

“RAISE. LEARNING IS BOOST USE “

Manuel Valls then promised million in new aid (which actually represent 140 million net 200 ). He also indicated that “100 million euros from EU funds will be dedicated in the next two years to the integration of young people, particularly apprentices’ . Similarly, “80 million euros” will finance ‘new training and increased accommodation capacity under the investment program for the future “.

The new gesture of the President of the Republic shows that the state no longer wants to be accused of scuttling this training. “Restart learning is boosting employment is to reaffirm the priority for young people” , has he said in a speech in the Yellow Salon of Hotel de Marigny, near the Elysée. Hollande said that “one in four is learning in Germany, one in five in Denmark and only one in eight in France.

The aim is to increase the number of young apprentices in public education from 40 000 to 60 000 He also shelled the announcements made in July: 10,000 apprentices in the service of the State within two years (against 700 today.)

GUIDELINES THAT WILL “THE RIGHT WAY”

Many individuals considered obstacles to the development of learning were discussed with the social partners on this day. This includes information of young people, apprentices’ pay (which is now on age criteria, not qualification) or the administrative complexity of the devices. For what concerns the State, Mr. Holland asked for quick action. The rest is returned to the dialogue between social partners.

At the end, Jean-François Pilliard, vice president of MEDEF, said that “these guidelines are in the right direction” . But he showed himself skeptical about the effects of premium 000 1, at least this year. “Campaign 2014 [Recruiting alternating] will be completed in two weeks,” , he has raised. “We must therefore prepare for the 2015 campaign , has he added . And for this, we still lack information on some points. we need to be reassured that everything is unclear … “
