Following the September 5, 2018 law reforming professional training in France, 2019 promised to be a year of construction and significant advances for professionalizing childcare providers and domestic employees. And it was.
In a changing economic and social context, IPERIA continued supporting the individual employment and domestic work sector's professional branches in their aims to:
- Implement a protective and increasingly incentivizing training access system
- Strengthen career attractiveness, mainly through skilsl investment.
This is evidenced by organized events, signed agreements, tested projects, and launched programs. All these actions appear in the 2019 Individual Employment and Domestic Work Sector Professionalization Review published today.
