After the liberalization to all hair, here comes the time for reframing. For several months, the government has expressed its intention to regulate the personal training account (CPF), a device deeply modified under the first five -year term of Emmanuel Macron to facilitate access. He finally took the act by fileing, on Saturday 10 December, an amendment to the finance bill for 2023, very slightly rewritten the next day: the text “proposes to establish a participation of the holder, whatever the amount of rights available on his account “. In other words, no more training provided for free through this mechanism: employees will also have to get their hands in the pocket. By leaving a dependent remains to the persons concerned, this measure presents itself as a moderator ticket, one of the purposes of which is to muzzle the expense linked to the CPF.
The amendment defended by the executive indicates that the contribution claimed from the worker may be proportional “at the cost of the training, within the limit of a ceiling or fixed at a lump sum”. An important point to emphasize: job seekers will not have to pay. Ditto for individuals who mobilize their CPF as part of a project “Co -constructed with their employer” and for funding made by the latter (“subscriptions”).
For Carole Grandjean, the Minister Delegate responsible for professional education and training, such an approach aims “to continue improving the efficiency of the CPF, in addition to the many measures already taken and which give effects “(Fight against fraud and abusive canvassing, improvement of the quality of the offer through a reinforced selection of training organizations).
” The opposite of the Macronian political project “
Created in 2014, the CPF was reformed in November 2019 by Muriel Pénicaud, the Minister of Labor at the time. A credit system in euros – and no longer in hours – was born with an online platform opening the door to a wide range of titles, diplomas and certifications. Result: a considerable success, which resulted in “more than five million registrations in training” during the last three years, according to the executive.
This boom has had a cost – some 6.7 billion euros -, thus contributing to the France skills deficit, the sector’s piloting body, even if the “hole” results largely from expenditure attributable to learning. The craze for the CPF was also accompanied by its share of abuse: bogus training, intrusive solicitations of companies that have multiplied the phone calls and sms, scams … So much so that the catalog of training courses has been cleaned to focus on those that can quickly lead to a job.
