It may not be a momentous day for professional transitions and retraining, but at least the French social partners reached an agreement on 25 June 2025. The text, which aims to make existing schemes clearer and easier to use for companies and employees, will be transposed by government amendment into the bill on the employment of older workers.
Following a month of ‘flash’ negotiations, employer and trade union organisations (CPME, Medef, U2P, CFDT, CFE-CGC, CFTC, CGT, FO) reached a national interprofessional agreement on professional transitions and retraining on 25 June 2025. This demonstrates the strength of social dialogue after the failure of the conclave on pensions. The aim of these negotiations was to simplify transition/retraining schemes, making them clearer and easier for companies and employees to access.
