Skills assessment

As professions evolve, so can your professional desires and expectations. Whether you're looking to change fields, progress within your company, find a new job, or simply take stock, a skills assessment can be a valuable step. It helps you to take stock of your knowledge, personal qualities and skills, while providing you with avenues to build your professional future. In the Pays d'Ancenis, there are a number of organisations that can help you with this process.

Training through work integration

The Pays d’Ancenis area is brimming with organisations offering integration through economic activity (I.A.E.), and that’s a real boon! How does it work? It’s simple: periods of work are combined with personalised support to help you develop your career plan and facilitate your return to work.

Get in touch with a France Travail adviser. They will assess your personal and professional situation and, if necessary, refer you to the I.A.E. scheme best suited to your needs.
