On Monday 23 November, the Minister for Labor together with the Secretary of State for European Affairs announced the launch of a pilot exchange program for French and German apprentices who work in the companies with offices in both countries. For academic year 2016-2017, eleven companies will be involved in the program accounting for about fifty students.
Following the success of the European Erasmus initiative, work and training abroad should become simpler. In any case that is the goal of the initiative put forward by the French Government on Monday 23 November. With both the backing of the employers’ body Medef and the CFDT union, eleven businesses located both in France and in Germany (Michelin, BASF, Bosch, Engie, Allianz France, BNP Paribas, Safran, Siemens, Airbus, Danone, and L’Oréal) will manage the exchange programs for the fifty or so apprenticeships and who are for the most part French.
