FRANCE: Training pathways for company creators


The training package aims to provide all necessary information to make it possible to create or take over a craft business in the best conditions. The training pathway is modular, adaptable to individual needs, includes assistance and counselling and is possible to achieve either in e-learning or face to face training. 76% of the company creation supported by the skilled craft chambre are still developing 3 years after their start.


Responsible organisation

CMA France for national coordination and regional skilled craft chambers delivering the training pathways
