The high commissioner to the competencies detailed on the measures aimed at those furthest from employment.

Fifteen billion euros to put the foot in the stirrup to the most remote of employment: launched with great fanfare a year ago, without it being yet the practical applications, the plan investment in skills, his pet name “the Peak”, is on the rails. Jean-Marie Marx, new high commissioner for skills and inclusion through employment, was a major milestone on October 23.

The plan must be spread over four years, during which he will rise in power : the credits will not be used to full from the start. The objective of the government is “more qualitative than quantitative,” said Jean-Marie Marx several times, how to distinguish between the operation of the “plan 500 000 training”, launched under François Hollande, criticized for its inefficiency. Entries in training have often been made to the figure, without true inclusion strategy.

The big plan “Macron”, to him, is expected to train half a million job seekers with few or no qualifications and a million young people distant from the labour market. It must also contribute to the transformation of the skills required for transitions green and digital and to solve the eternal problem of the trades in tension, where the candidates are missing.

A share of the jobs not filled by its lack of attractiveness, but the companies regularly put forward the skills mismatch. The Peak, therefore, includes a component intended to better analyze the profiles from which they will miss. The professional branches, which are equipped with observatories supposed to ensure this forward-looking, have, this year, responded to calls to ministry project, to evolve the methods of needs analysis.

8500 euros for a “complete route”

It is an essential aspect, but which requires only a reduced proportion of the budget of the program. 90% of the funds should be used to fund new training course and “support to sustainable employment”. There will have been 148 000 courses of additional training, in 2018, in the framework of agreements signed with the regions.

From 2019 to 2022, then that will have been signed regional pacts for the implementation of the plan, on the territory, the pace should accelerate. The government will ensure that the regions do not take advantage of the new provisions of the Pic (which may represent from 50 to 80 % of extra credit) to reduce their own contribution.

Evidence of the importance of the financial investment, the package means a training course was set at 8500 euros. For the plan 500 000, it was only 3000 euros. “With 8500 euros, or more if need, we can offer a full itinerary,” said the high commissioner, noting that fishing often is “the sequence of actions of training, of a different nature, without coherence”. The actions of training in a work situation in business are to be multiplied, to re-connect with the activity the public fragile, unwilling to follow the academic programs, between four walls. “You need the sas implementation in a professional situation, to avoid breakage,” insisted Jean-Marie Marx.

Another line of development, the generalization to the national level of some of the devices that have made their proof, as the operational preparation to employment collective (CEOP), to bridge the gap between the pre-requisites of the position and a candidate, preparation skills, to increase the chances of job seekers to succeed in their internship, or the schools of second chance for dropouts.

Of the “preparation-learning” to the menu

In parallel have been launched calls for projects in order to develop pedagogical innovations. One of them, “100% inclusion”, aims to identify young people and job seekers “out of the loop” and to set in motion – to offer a training route, it is still necessary to successfully reach these audiences, the more remote the employment. Others are focusing on the methods of professional integration of refugees or “prépa-learning”, intended for the training centres for apprentices, for which they are preparing young people to know how to be professional and confront their choices, by making them to test different trades including.

“All our actions are consistent,” repeated Jean-Marie Marx. Will they be effective? Once a year, an independent scientific committee will make an evaluation report. In September 2017, the economist Jean Pisani-Ferry, loaded to build the Peak, promises to be a point of structural unemployment thanks to this massive investment on skills.
