This measure is one of those that the executive MR-cdH adopted definitively on Thursday to help resolve the mismatch between the skills required by companies and those acquired by Jobseekers
Nearly 190,000 jobseekers and a growing number of companies are finding it difficult to recruit workers to meet their needs, according to Mr. Jeholet (RM). He quotes the Walloon Union of Enterprises (UWE), according to which 31,329 job vacancies were recorded in Wallonia in the 3rd quarter of 2017, which represents an increase of 53% in one year.
According to the figures of the Forem, near half (45.74%) of job seekers did not graduate from upper secondary education, whereas a qualified jobseeker is twice as likely to find a job as a non-qualified According to the Minister,
To bring training closer to the realities of the enterprise, the government is reforming the Training and Integration Plan (PFI), which allows jobseekers to acquire skills with a contract at stake and companies to train their future workers according to their needs.
"This measure is underutilized by companies, particularly because of administrative constraints, even though the insertion rates (97.8% at 12 months and 98.2% to 18 months) demonstrate a sustainable integration into employment, "says the minister. It therefore introduces a "simpler, more flexible and more in line with the realities of businesses." The entry into force is scheduled for early 2019.
The financial incentive of 350 euros for short-time trades training may also be granted from 1 September next to any jobseeker who will succeed in training in a job. job in short supply. Beyond this incentive, the jobseeker will benefit from coaching to prepare for the job interview that will be guaranteed at the end of his training.
"Insofar as the new list jobs in short supply have just been published by the Forem, job seekers must not lose a minute to enroll in training leading to one of these trades, "says Mr. Jeholet.
Finally , the government immediately brings into force a device called "punch shortages". This action aims to act in a rapid and targeted way on particularly severe shortages encountered by companies, whether large or small.
As soon as a company or several companies seek at least eight workers for the same function, they can apply to the Forem. It will offer them a tailor-made program: joint selection of candidates and flexible training plan. At the end of the training, the commitment of at least 80% of jobseekers who have successfully completed their training is guaranteed.
