Thematic country review on upskilling pathways for low-skilled adults in France

The publication provides an overview of the current state of play for support for low-qualified unemployed adults in France. Existing challenges include fragmented ecosystems, and poor coordination among services. Companies increasingly engage in upskilling for jobseekers but fall behind on long-term development for employees.

Funding disparities between employed and unemployed adults hinder tailored support, while regional differences and overlapping initiatives may affect the overall effectiveness of adult skills development strategies.
