THE FFB and the CCCA-BTP strengthen their collaboration to support companies in their training and recruitment needs

The French Building Federation (FFB) and the Building and Public Works Apprenticeship Consultation and Coordination Committee (CCCA-BTP) have entered into a partnership agreement aimed at strengthening their collaboration for apprenticeship and vocational training in the construction sector, which remains one of the leading employers in France.

Through this agreement, the two parties undertake, for the FFB, to provide its professional and sectoral expertise; for the CCCA-BTP, to bring its expertise to the service of the quality of professional training and in particular apprenticeship.

Indeed, the current changes inherent in the desire to build low carbon, sustainably rehabilitate heritage, improve the energy performance of buildings and the promotion of the digital transition of building trades are bringing out new skills that require training and recruiting more young graduates.

By mobilizing their structures, the FFB and the CCCA-BTP contribute to the development of training and therefore the adaptation of skills, with an action plan from 2022 to:

focus on skills needs;
placing innovation at the heart of training preparing for professional practice;
promote the registration of professional qualifications;
promote the long-term integration of new entrants into the company.

For Olivier Salleron, president of the FFB: “For 80 years, the FFB, which created the CCCA-BTP with the social partners in the construction industry, has participated in its management and development through the commitment of its representatives. The sector needs the skills necessary for current and future developments in its markets. Climate issues are one of the drivers of change. It is the duty of the FFB to contribute to the development of the training offer by sharing its business expertise. »

For Éric Routier, President of CCCA-BTP: “This partnership between the CCCA-BTP and the FFB, a member of our Board of Directors with joint governance, reaffirms the strong ties that bind us. The development of skills, inseparable from training, is at the center of the challenges that construction companies must meet. This is the heart of this partnership, which relies on the expertise of the CCCA-BTP, to drive innovation in trades and teaching practices, in order to meet the skills and professional qualifications needs of construction companies and ensure excellence in vocational training, in particular apprenticeship. »
