Apprenticeship in the public service exploded during the five-year term of Emmanuel Macron. And the Minister of Transformation and the Public Service, Amélie de Montchalin, was to present new measures to the Council of Ministers on Wednesday, November 24, to accelerate the movement.
The administration has long been behind the private sector. “There was a delay to catch up, do we recognize in the entourage of Mme by Montchalin. He started to be. “ Between 2017 and 2021, the number of apprentices recruited in the three public services (State, local authorities, hospitals) increased from 13,000 to 24,800.
The government has analyzed the brakes preventing further development. In a report submitted to Parliament, he describes three: insufficient financial resources, the difficulty in mobilizing apprenticeship teachers, and the administration’s difficulties in managing contracts which fall under private law.
Financial incentives
The minister therefore had to present new financial incentives to the Council of Ministers. In 2022, the employment limits of the ministries will be removed from the ceiling for apprentices. This represents 7,000 more full-time positions. Likewise, still for the State civil service, apprenticeship masters will receive a bonus of 500 euros from the 1er January. The objective set by the Prime Minister to recruit in the state administration nearly 15,000 young work-study students will be exceeded in 2022, we are assured at M.me by Montchalin. They were only 5,600 in 2016.
In hospitals, aid of 3,000 euros has just been introduced for 1,000 apprenticeship contracts, since these have been signed since 1er July. “More than 1,000 applications have already been submitted”, we say from the same source. This should make it possible to increase the number of work-study students in the public medical sector from 500 in 2016 to 1,800 this year.
As regards local authorities, which have implemented this aid since 2020, expecting 8,500 new apprentices each year, the funding process will be simplified. From now on, the National Center for the Territorial Civil Service will be the sole interlocutor. Being able to mobilize a budget of 80 million euros in 2022 from contributions from various actors, including the State for 30 million, it will directly finance these training costs.
Finally, for the entire administration, all learning offers are now available on the 1jeune1solution site. govt. The contract will be dematerialized and, by the end of next year, the electronic signature instituted.
