What reform for training?

Evolving training management

On March 5, Muriel Pénicaud, Minister of Labor announced a profound transformation of the professional training, transformation she hopes “ useful and expected “.

A CPF in euros

Today the “big bang” of the professional training offers, the monetization of hours of Personal Training Account ( CPF), in order to make the system more concrete, readable and above all fairer. The CPF will now be supplied in euros and no longer in hours. The assets will recognize up to € 500 per year, capped at € 5,000 over ten years. The less qualified will earn up to € 800 per year, capped at € 8,000 over ten years.

The creation of a national regulatory agency

A national agency, France Compétences, will be created to combine the functions of Funds Joint Securing of Professional Careers (FPSPP), the National Council for Employment, Training and Vocational Guidance (Cnefop) and the National Interprofessional Joint Committee for Employment and Vocational Training (Copanef) in a single institution. Simplification will go through the collection of the contribution by URSSAF and thus reduce the administrative burden on businesses. “ The added value of joint bodies is not found in fundraising but in the anticipation of training and the construction of training plans. », Announced the Minister. These bodies will have to be a real proximity service ”for businesses.

This reform also provides for more freedom given to educational innovation. Completion of a MOOC will be recognized, and it will now be possible to train entirely online. In addition, training organizations must be certified by the National Agency France Skills to work on public funds.

New role of OPCAs

The Partial Authorized Collector Bodies (OPCA) will no longer determine the rate of payment for training, and will no longer collect contributions paid by companies. Their mission will now be to support companies and support them in the management of skills and employability of their collaborators. The role of OPCA is therefore completely transformed and now makes them Skills Operators .

This modification of the missions of OPCA aims to free access to the professional training . Muriel Penicaud wants individuals to choose and pay for their training themselves directly, through their CPF , to which they will have access through a mobile application.

Date of application of this reform

This reform should be applicable after the passage of the reform project before Parliament at the end of April, and after the last adjustments resulting from the negotiations in March.

However, the implementation of this reform will be done gradually, the Skills Operators must be operational from September 1, 2018.
