Entry into training of jobseekers

**This file presents data on the training entries of jobseekers.** ### List of tables — Breakdown by region — Breakdown by type of training ### Source and Definitions **Source:** Employment centre, file of entries into training. This statistical file is made up of the following two types of information available in the Employment Centre’s operational information system: — Stage Entry Testations (AES) corresponding to an entry into a new training plan. — transfers of job seekers in category D registration on the basis of training without AES. ### The types of training **Pre-recruitment Training Action (AFPR) and Operational Preparation for Individual Employment (POEI):** with a maximum duration of 400 hours, these pre-employment trainings allow the job seeker to acquire skills necessary to fill a job corresponding to an offer submitted by a company to Pôle emploi. The employer’s hiring project determines the assistance that can be mobilised: CDI or contract of at least 12 months for the POEI, contract of 6 to 12 months for the AFPR. The training is carried out either by an internal or external training organisation or by the company itself in the form of mentoring. **Individual Training Assistance (AIF):** it is allocated by Pôle emploi to finance vocational training necessary to return to employment or to set up a business when the other schemes cannot be mobilised. **Conventional Training Action (AFC):** the training action contracted by Pôleemploi aims to develop the skills of registered jobseekers, in particular those with low qualifications and/or retraining, to meet the recruitment needs of companies. ** Other training courses prescribed but not funded by Pôleemploi:** these are mainly trainings funded by the Regional Councils and Operational Preparation for Collective Employment, financed by OPCAs. The collective POE (POEC) concerns programs leading to the discovery of occupations in a sector, or to acquire the skills required to occupy jobs corresponding to needs identified by a branch agreement. The collective EPO is not subject to the requirement to submit a job offer prior to the implementation of the training. It may not exceed 400 hours.’
