Employers can finance training programs as part of the skills development plan.
An employee can take the initiative in requesting training under this scheme.
The law imposes no procedure: the request and the response are made freely, according to the employer's practices or contractual provisions. The employer is free to accept or refuse. If the employer accepts, the employee's training is treated as part of the normal performance of the employment contract.
Training costs are paid by the employer, or under certain conditions by his OPCO (skills operator).
For the self-employed: training costs may be covered by training funds (FIF-PL, Agefice, AFDAS, FAF-PM, etc.).
