Training aid in the case of the hiring of a jobseeker
Verified 04 April 2023 - Legal and Administrative Information Directorate (Prime Minister)
An employer who undertakes to hire a jobseeker or an employee on an integration contract may receive training aid. It is funded by Pôle emploi. The training is used to acquire skills related to the duties of the position. There are 2 aids: operational preparation for individual employment (POEI) and pre-recruitment training (AFPR).
PEAR
Operational readiness for individual employment (POEI) is a financial aid that enables the jobseeker and the employee on an integration contract to train in order to be able to respond to a job offer.
This aid may be granted to the employer who undertakes to recruit the jobseeker after the training period.
In order to benefit from the POEI, the employer must have submitted a job offer to Pôle emploi in a sector with recruitment difficulties.
The employer commits to hiring the jobseeker.
The employment contract of the job seeker hired must be one of the following contracts:
- Contract of indefinite duration (CDI)
- CDD of at least 12 months
- Professionalization or apprenticeship contract at least 12 months
FYI
if the employment contract is part-time, the weekly working time must be equal to or greater than 20 hours.
The IPOA is for the employer who hires:
- Registered jobseeker, whether or not compensated, offered an accommodating job
- Employee recruited under an employment support contract (CUI-CAE),
- Employee on an initiative-employment contract (CUI-CIE)
- Employee on fixed-term contracts in a structure of integration through economic activity (SIAE)
Warning
a company which has been made redundant for economic reasons in the last 12 months must obtain a derogation from Pôle emploi in order to obtain this aid.
The POE may address a collective of employees. The training then responds to needs identified by a branch agreement or, in the absence of an agreement, by the board of directors of a OPCO (ex-OPCA): titleContent.
The POE: titleContent can finance up to 400 hours training.
The training may be provided by either an in-company training body or an outside body.
A period of on-line training by the employer (in the form of tutoring) may also be provided.
External training organization
The external training organization must be declared and qualified certified.
This is a regulation attesting to the ability to deliver quality training.
Without this certification, Pôle emploi will refuse the request for assistance.
In-company training
The amount of aid varies according to the cost of the training.
The amount shall not exceed €5 maximum net per training hour.
The aid is paid directly to the employer by Pôle emploi.
It is paid after training and at the earliest on the day of hiring.
External company training
The amount of aid varies according to the cost of the training.
The amount shall not exceed €8 maximum net per training hour.
The aid shall be paid to the training organization by Pôle emploi.
It is paid after training and at the earliest on the day of hiring.
The POE: titleContent may be co-financed by theOPCO (ex-OPCA): titleContent to which the employer is subject.
All steps are taken with Pôle emploi.
