Employment / Training / Professional Integration

Our activities

The labour market is radically changing

Workforce shortages are not a new issue for the French employment market. In an unprecedented turn, this now affects all economic sectors, and more than 60% of companies report having problems recruiting talent that will provide the skills they will need in the future.

The labour market thus completely turned itself around a few months after the pandemic:

Job opportunities outstripping demand
Decorrelation with economic circumstances
New expectations from workers, who want a greater sense of meaning and are much more mobile in their careers than the previous generation if working or pay conditions are not right

In the face of these accelerating changes to labour and the economy, the emergence of new jobs, changes to production methods, and new expectations, skills management has become a priority to secure professional careers and keep companies competitive.

Professional integration and training: priorities for the government and economic players

With an unemployment rate back to its 2008 low point of 7.4% of the active population, numerous resources still need to be mobilised in order to train future skills from a very young age.

Initiatives to promote professional retraining in sectors with shortfalls and professionally integrate the most fragile populations via training are the key for public authorities to enable full employment, which should be fully achievable.

COHDA, the benchmark partner for this area

For more than 10 years, the COHDA study institute has been working along the entire value chain of these different issues, on behalf of numerous stakeholders at both national and local level (DRIEETS, France Compétences, OPCO, job centres, universities, regional councils etc.) and for various areas of activity (construction, commerce, energy and environment, events, health and more). Budgetary constraints and an increase in the number of people to be taken care of have prompted public employment and integration policy stakeholders to ensure that their interventions are effective and optimised. Our support therefore takes various forms (future/integration study, study of recipient experience/path, survey of recruitment needs etc.) to monitor the results of training activities, identify levers to enhance the attractiveness of economic sectors with skills shortages, experiment with innovative training formats to boost professional integration, and more broadly highlight investments to be made to promote employment and employability.
