Single Insertion Contract (SIC) - Skills Employment Path (JEP)

Verified 01 November 2024 - Directorate for Legal and Administrative Information (Prime Minister)

What is the Single Insertion Contract (CUI)? It combines training and/or professional support for its beneficiary and financial assistance for the employer. This aid may vary, in particular, depending on the region and the public receiving it. The purpose of the UIC is to make it easier for people who have difficulty finding a job to be hired. The employment support contract (CUI-CAE) is intended for the non-market sector and the employment initiative contract (CUI-CIE) for the market sector.

CUI-CAE

The CUI is an employment contract concluded between:

  • An employer who will receive financial assistance
  • And an employee who will benefit from assistance with professional integration.

The CUI-CAE is aimed at the non-commercial, public or voluntary sector (examples: town hall, departmental council, company committee).

The CUI-CAE is the contractual framework within which the Skills Employment Path (JEP) takes place.

The JEP includes:

  • A tripartite interview that brings together the prescriber (examples: Cap emploi, France Travail), the employer and the future employee at the time of signing the request for assistance.
    This interview allows the formalization of commitments and the declassification of the skills that the position should allow to acquire among the skills defined in an online form
  • Dematerialized follow-up during the contract, which may take the form of a booklet
  • An exit interview between the prescriber and the employee, depending on the needs of the person, between 1 and 3 months before the end of the contract.

Duration of the Skills Journey

The target length of a journey is 12 months (one year) and the initial agreements cannot be less than 9 months.
