Collective operational preparation for employment enables several jobseekers and employees recruited under a fixed-term or open-ended contract concluded in application of article L. 5134-19-1, or under a fixed-term contract concluded in application of article L. 1242-3 with an employer covered by article L. 5132-4, to benefit from training necessary to acquire the skills required to occupy jobs corresponding to needs identified by a branch agreement or, failing that, by the board of directors of a skills operator.
The employment contract that may be concluded at the end of the collective operational preparation for employment is an open-ended contract, a professionalisation contract of at least twelve months’ duration, an apprenticeship contract or a fixed-term contract of at least twelve months’ duration.
The training is funded by the relevant skills operator. The State and Pôle emploi may also finance the training under conditions laid down, where applicable, by an agreement with the skills operator.
For jobseekers under the age of 26, the training may be provided in an apprentice training centre.
