Korian opens its new CFA in the care sector

in the presence of Elisabeth Borne, Minister of Labour and

Brigitte Bourguignon, Minister for Autonomy

On Tuesday 26 January 2021 in Paris, Korian welcomed the first class of 19 apprentice care assistants participating in its training program, which started on 4 January 2021, at its Centre for Apprentices for care professions.

On this occasion, Elisabeth Borne, Minister of Labour, Employment and Integration, Brigitte Bourguignon, Minister Delegate in charge of Autonomy and Thibaut Guilluy, High Commissioner for Employment and Business Commitment, came to meet the class to underline the government's mobilisation for the health sector and youth employment during this pandemic period.

Apprentices also benefited from a privileged exchange with Sophie Boissard, the Group's Managing Director, and the teams of Nadège Plou, Human Resources Director of Korian France, who told them of the Group's ambition to welcome 180 students during the next class in September.

After a month of theoretical studies, the apprentices are preparing to enter, on 1 February, a Korian retirement home or clinic located in the Ile de France region, where they will learn to perform their jobs. At the end of

their18-monthon-site training, if they obtain their diploma they may be offered a position as a care assistant within the Korian facility network.

The creation of this CFA for care professions completes Korian's very active policy that favours the training and employment of young people, in which apprenticeship plays an essential role. In total, Korian will welcome 700 apprentices this year, including 500 care assistant apprentices, i.e. 20 times more than in 2017 in this job sector alone. A regulatory change by decree is also expected soon to liberalise apprenticeship, notably as a result of Korian's numerous actions undertaken with the ministries concerned.
