No region is spared from the strains in the private employers and home employment sector. To take action in every territory, we deploy a wide range of initiatives and partnerships to promote careers, support skill development, and make a tangible impact on professionalization and employability. Here’s how.
Partnerships to Tackle Sector Challenges
By 2030, 58,000 home jobs¹ will need to be created in Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur to meet growing needs—especially those of the 80,000 vulnerable private employers. 35,000 jobs are to be filled in Centre-Val de Loire, 40,000 in Brittany, 150,000 in Île-de-France, and so on. Regardless of the region, the needs are the same. Our sector is in the paradoxical situation described by Nadège Turco, Deputy Director of IPERIA, in Lyon on April 3: "On one hand, needs are exploding; on the other, recruitment tensions are rising."To meet this challenge, as we have for the past 30 years—mandated by the professional branch of the private employers and home employment sector—we uphold a strong vision: "Investing in professionalization is investing in employment and in society. With our expertise, we’ve helped shape a true professional pathway for the sector—a momentum made possible through a strong territorial network."
Being present, listening, and activating real levers to promote the sector, guide (future) employees toward these careers, and support skills development: to reach these goals, “strengthening partnerships is essential—with actors like France Travail, regional councils, departments, local missions, and all employment-training stakeholders,” added Nadège Turco during her speech in Lyon.
Tripartite Agreements
On the ground, our territorial presence is reinforced through several tripartite agreements signed with France Travail and the French Federation of Private Employers (Fepem): in Hauts-de-France (2023), Île-de-France (2023), Nouvelle-Aquitaine (2024), Corsica (March 2025), and Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes (April 2025). The shared mission: enhance job attractiveness, promote professionalization and skill development, and launch local, tailored initiatives addressing each territory’s specific challenges.Training Initiatives
With our network of training providers and through partnerships with cities committed to professionalization, large-scale training actions are also rolled out. Each year, in partnership with the City of Nantes and several local organizations, dozens of childminders benefit from two days of coordinated training. In 2024, 90 professionals enhanced their skills through this program; more than 60 are benefiting again this year.Another local initiative: in the Lorient region, we piloted the "Home and Living Environment Maintenance Assistant" certification. This tailored certification targets individuals far from employment or in integration pathways, offering them the opportunity to join the sector with quality, personalized support.
Integrating New Audiences
Making careers attractive and better known is key to the future of our sector. That’s the goal behind the LabMigration for home employment. This pilot initiative aims to integrate immigrant populations into the sector by providing training toward professionalization and employment. Implemented locally—in Marseille, Île-de-France, and Normandy—through partnerships with training organizations and Fepem, the LabMigration has helped train new professionals for careers as personal care assistants and childminders in these three regions.Supporting Local Networking
Territorial action for home employment also takes the form of Relais Assistants de Vie (RAVie), created through an agreement with the National Solidarity Fund for Autonomy (CNSA). Currently operating in over 30 regions in France, RAVie centers offer personal care assistants working with dependent or disabled individuals at home the chance to interact and develop their skills.Support Toward Employment
“Changing careers, gaining qualifications, finding a job—this requires tailored and accessible support. That’s why we created the Sectoral Guidance and Professional Development Council (COEPS).” As Nadège Turco emphasized in Lyon on April 3, COEPS continues to evolve. Already accessible to everyone, regardless of location, via phone or video call, it’s also active in the field through employment support workshops. Currently deployed for LabMigration trainees in Marseille by our advisors, the “Boost Lab” offers ongoing support: answering questions, reviewing CVs or cover letters, preparing for interviews, etc.COEPS’s field presence complements the daily work of our teams alongside our training network, institutional partners, employees, and private employers. These human-centered professions—so vital to our society—cannot thrive without broad-based, hands-on expertise.
