Knowing yourself well: the key to a successful professional retraining

Skills assessments

As part of the skills assessment, you are guided by a professional who accompanies you thanks to a methodology to take stock of your acquired experience, your skills that can be mobilized and transferred to other professions. This can allow you to get to know yourself better and start on a good basis (your own basis), to start your professional development.

For who ?

Regardless of your years of professional experience, if you're lost, if you don't really know where to start to develop a professional project consistent with your personality, your needs, your expectations and priorities with regard to a profession, a skills assessment can be a starting point for knowing how to orient your professional career.

Even if you already have a defined professional project in mind, the skills assessment can help you facilitate your professional transition through advice and training around the enhancement of your strengths and your know-how.

The terms of support

The format: collective, individual or mixed. 100% face-to-face, online or semi-face-to-face.

Duration: 3 to 5 months

Organizations that support you

Among the training organizations that are partners of jobs_that_makesense, several offer a skills assessment as part of their retraining program. They accompany you on the format of your choice. Their training is all eligible for the CPF.

Funding

If you are an employee or an entrepreneur, you can finance your balance sheet via the CPF (professional training account).

As an employee, you are not obliged to inform your employer of your approach if you do a skills assessment outside your working hours. On the other hand, if you wish to do so and if you have 24 months of seniority as an employee, including 12 months in the company, you can make the request to your employer via the PTP, professional transition project, which replaces individual training leave. You can then benefit from remuneration for the duration of the training.

Are you a job seeker? The balance sheet request is made to Pôle emploi and you can also ask your adviser for a contribution from your CPF to finance training.

Are you a student or unemployed? The option that presents itself is self-financing, but some balance sheets offer solutions or preferential rates to help you finance it. You can contact them to find out more. :)
