The individual employment and domestic work sector includes 1.4 million employees: childcare providers, childminders, personal carers, and family assistants.
This innovative and ambitious policy is bearing fruit, as evidenced by the review of actions taken and significant progress in 2018.
The professionalization policy conducted by the professional branches of childcare providers and individual employer employees provides concrete solutions to promote these future-oriented occupations that address significant societal challenges. For 25 years, IPERIA has been working with them to anticipate and support the evolution of these occupations and their associated skills, empowering them with their professional development.
Among the highlights, particularly noteworthy are:
- The signing, in March, of a new agreement with CNSA, a long-standing partner, to sustain and make personal carers' centers as widely accessible as possible.
- The registration with RNCP of a "disability" specialization for the qualifications "Childcare Provider/Childminder" and "Dependency Personal Carer" on October 15.
- The event recognizing the occupations and skills of childcare providers and childminders organized at the CESE on October 17 was successful.
- The "Childcare Provider/Childminder" qualification was recognized in the decree on training and renewal of approval for childcare providers on October 24.
The number of training enrollments has been steadily increasing for over five years, and the modular offering is regularly enhanced to match the needs of employees and their employers closely. The four new modules designed last year for inclusion in the 2019 training offering perfectly illustrate this: "Speaking with Words and Signs," "Caring for a Premature Baby," "Understanding and Better Supporting: New Knowledge About Brain Development," and "Preparing for Your PMI Renewal Interview."
Skills certification also shows success, with 1,515 qualifications awarded and a 74% certification success rate, rising to 83% for RPL.
Finally, 2018 was a "studious" year with no fewer than eight studies undertaken (occupational study, employment monitoring, success factors of personal carers' centers (in partnership with CNSA), study on digital usage by personal carers (in collaboration with CNSA), forward-looking studies contract within the PIC framework, assessment of employment and skills needs under an agreement with CARIF OREF in Centre-Val de Loire, forward-looking study on employment and skills needs in the Var department and action-study to promote good treatment practices at home among childcare providers in Var, but also "promising" with the signing of a three-year partnership agreement with Région Sud-PACA which has significant recruitment needs.
