„Reskilling For Ecological Transition In France“
Preparing for large-scale transformations to achieve the goals and objectives of the European Green Deal (EGD) requires companies’ efforts to change their business and production processes, their workforce’s reskilling. This study was aimed to assess the level of involvement of French companies in their employees’ training regarding ecological issues; and to test some factors (enterprises’ size, their belonging to groups, networks, etc.) that might be essential for this involvement. A quantitative methodology was used; data processing was done by means of MS Excel and SPSS. The database included the results of Employer Training Survey – European (EFE-e) which was conducted by French public research centers CEREQ, Dares, and French competencies in 2022 regarding the professional training in France, in 2021.
The results of study testify that the percentage of companies that provided ecological training was not very high in France in 2021. The micro and small enterprises were less involved in ecological training in comparison with large enterprises. To achieve the EU-foreseen green transition, more companies’ involvement in employees’ skills for ecological transition and sustainability is needed.
