Solutions to speed up recruitment in Atlantic France

1 job = 1 training course

With this new service, the regional council finances 100% of training costs linked to recruitment intentions. This initiative is aimed at all types of employers and jobseekers, providing training tailored to specific needs. The courses can lead to certification, qualifications, or professional development.

Support for professionalisation contracts

The aim of this scheme is to support the training of jobseekers aged 30 or over on professionalisation contracts, with financial assistance for training provided to employers. This aid of up to €6,000 is paid for the first year of the contract.

Employment, tutoring, and training

The regional council supports establishments with fewer than 300 employees that take on and train jobseekers. It finances up to 400 hours of training, either in-house through tutoring or delivered by a Qualiopi-certified training organisation.

TPME, POEI, and AFPR courses

The Atlantic France region has developed a range of courses to help employers provide pre-recruitment training. Whether they are aimed specifically at small businesses or concern specific skills, such as Individual Operational Preparation for Employment (POEI), these courses are designed to help employers return to sustainable employment.

Pays de la Loire Conseil

This scheme provides targeted support specifically for VSEs and SMEs once they have established themselves in the region. Business owners benefit from guidance on development and human resources at key stages in the company’s growth: external expansion, transfer, adapting to the market, etc.

Human resources consultancy (PCRH)

Co-financed by the French State and the Atlantic France regional council, this programme enables small and medium-sized businesses to benefit from support linked to the takeover of economic activity, recruitment, or employee integration. Depending on the type of need, the external advisor can also assist with employer branding issues.

Eval’RH

Offered by the Chamber of Commerce and Industry (CCI), this service provides a complete human resources assessment. Covering everything from legal obligations to the management of human capital, Eval’RH is designed to provide you with concrete, practical tools to consolidate, develop, or reorganise your business.

Emploi Export Pays de la Loire

If your Atlantic France-based SME has an export development project (innovation, product, etc.) and requires new hires to bring this product to the market, Emploi Export Pays de la Loire is for you!

The programme offers a 50% subsidy of the gross annual salary (including charges), up to a maximum of €20,000/year.

There are a number of schemes available to help you recruit, and Solutions&co will help you identify the best fit for your company!
