“UNo country can build its future if it does not focus on youth. “ This is the message left on Tuesday June 2 at CFA Simone-Veil at Rouen by Muriel Pénicaud, Minister of Labor. She came to interact with apprentices, some of whom were “recruited” during confinement. A first year of CAP bakery, young people in CAP sale, others in prepa apprenticeship, the minister used her style and her kindness to question the students herself, sometimes trying to reassure those who are looking for a boss. Because the health crisis has gone through there, affecting many companies in their cash flow and their inclinations to hire. She also praised the work of the teachers who found the resources to maintain the link through distance training, sometimes in very innovative ways.

Minister says she appreciated “ the will to mobilize and act “. Especially since “ in a context of crisis, we see even more the inequalities, to which point the subject of inclusion, reaching out and giving everyone a chance is essential “ She looks to the future with “ very operational, practical and immediate things “ The first, she says, “ it is the mobilization for learning, in full expansion with the reform carried out. We had almost 500 000 apprentices in 2019 (+ 16%), just before the crisis. We must not lose this momentum. Young people must be given a chance. They cannot be the adjustment variable for this crisis. We must continue to train young people, give them access to employment “

Call to employers
How to act? “ Measures will be announced by the President of the Republic at the end of the week, with the social partnersanswers the minister. Companies must be able to get involved too. If we do not train young people in apprenticeships today, in two years, three years, we will lack skills and businesses will not be able to develop. “ In addition, in focus: dating jobs. “ Pôle emploi has set up a very operational platform on seasonal jobs and summer jobs, recalls Muriel Pénicaud. Young people, and in particular young people from priority neighborhoods, must have access to these jobs. This is important, because here too, it cannot wait. “
Julien Denormandie adds. “ The time is clearly to mobilize for the employment of all French people and in particular for the employment of young people … This mobilization of the government is materialized by this visit. The objective is to fight at all costs to preserve as many jobs as possible, and to allow the most vulnerable populations to continue to have access to employment. “ The Minister insists on the issue for young people in the priority neighborhoods of the city. “ Conventionally, in these districts, we have an unemployment rate in normal times twice higher than on the rest of the territory. And when things are not so good, unemployment often increases in these neighborhoods. We decided to go all out to support these young people, between apprenticeship and summer jobs, which must be effective solutions for finding a job. With these meetings today, with local associations, business partners, parliamentarians, we were able to very practically see how to strengthen this employment mobilization team. “ A mobilization that goes through a “ call on employers to provide young people with opportunities this summer so that they are not collateral victims of Covid-19 “

Julien Denormandie wants to take up the challenge of priority neighborhoods

– –
Having come into contact with associations involved in training and integration, in the Elbeuf sector, the Minister of the City and Housing encouraged partnership work, in a network.
There is undoubtedly, in the so-called “priority” districts, a form of curse which makes the challenges always a little more difficult to meet.
“ When it goes bad, it goes a little worse there. And when it gets better, it takes a little longer to recover “, evoked Tuesday morning
Julien Denormandie by opening, to
Elbeuf, a working meeting on the theme of training and employment for residents of these neighborhoods, particularly young people, at a time when, to the health crisis, comes an economic crisis and the threat of serious social crisis.
during an interview published the same day by our newspaper, stressed the importance of associations
“ very close “, permanently mobilized in the field, to guide and train a public far from employment and often in very fragile situations.

Yvan Cordier, secretary general of the Seine-Maritime prefecture and the mayor of Elbeuf
Djoudé Merabet, representatives of some of the associations involved in integration and employment had taken their places, and who were able to urgently develop responses to help families cope with the additional difficulties generated by
the health crisis and containment.

Situations
very precarious
“ We saw an increase in the number of registrations for our social grocery store by around 30 percent “, for example
Josiane Troley, for the association “Amicalement vôtre”, also referring to requests for emergency aid from families
“ who had nothing left “.
Winner of “Talents des cités” 2019 with its association bringing together young people and seniors who want to be accompanied when they have to make a journey,
Hamedine Sall also emphasized
“ the great precariousness of a large number of students “ during the confinement and, at the same time, the isolation of the elderly, some of whom were not visited during this period.
In the name of “Law Access Workshops”,
Fatimata Niang for his part, insisted on an initiative to support families in their efforts to benefit from the emergency fund released by the government.
So many actions linked to the health crisis, and which were added to those carried out by “Cursus” and by the association “Together towards integration and employment”, represented by
Gaëlle Tellier, to help job seekers build a future.
This can only be a partnership work that builds, insisted Julien Denormandie, citing “Job Cities”, on
“ a network created around the job seeker “.
This network, assured
Christian Cuigniez and
Laurent Auger for “Curriculum”, already exists informally. It only needs to be developed. But we must also convince companies to
“ trust “ to the work of field associations. Djoudé Merabet regretted,
“ large principals tend to move away from local associations “. Hence the need to raise awareness, and
“ to make better use of “ which already exists as close as possible to the suffering population. The minister committed to it.
Margueritte: “Pénicaud is dishonest”
David Magueritte is the Vice-President of the Normandy Region in charge of Training and Learning. He organized the Grenelle apprenticeship in Normandy in January 2016.
The Minister of Labor yesterday visited a CFA in Rouen to say all the good she thinks about apprenticeship. Have the Regions digested the reform of this branch of training ?
David Margueritte : “Relations remain complicated today between Muriel Pénicaud and the Regions of France. We wanted a balanced reform, and in the end, Madame Pénicaud did not honor her commitments. We campaign for a reform which results in a greater number of apprentices in our country and that apprenticeship is consolidated as a path of excellence and professional integration. Despite this shared objective and the willingness of the Regions to work for the general interest, Muriel Pénicaud did not respect the public word which was his during the reform. In terms of allocations to enable them to finance DWIs, the Regions have gone from € 250 million to € 134 million. It was the first break in confidence. And since the reform was passed, Madame Pénicaud has multiplied provocations against the Regions. It appropriates the good results of learning while its reform was implemented on 1
er January 2020. If there is one constant that must be acknowledged to the Minister of Labor, it is her intellectual dishonesty. ”
So you feel like you’ve been dispossessed of a “ baby “Who was doing well and promised a bright future ?
“This is still the first time that a full-service jurisdiction has been taken away from a community. Its reform is totally unsuited to the crisis we are experiencing. During the 2008 crisis, the Regions had not abandoned the suffering CFA. They had maintained a level of investment to avoid outright closings. When there was an economic recovery, the CFA were able to respond immediately. We therefore call for a financial rebalancing to allow the Regions to protect the DWIs. ”
You fear post-crisis Covid-19 DWI closings ?
“We must also avoid at all costs that apprentices find themselves on the floor. If young people see companies canceling their contracts, they must be able to switch to vocational training. And third, we ask the state to provide exceptional assistance to companies to encourage them not to give up apprenticeship. ”
