To help you finance your orientation or reorientation project, IESA arts & culture offers you many options depending on your status and the program you choose.
Personal funding, loan, scholarship
Personal funding
So that your training plans can be realized more easily, IESA arts&culture offers you flexible payment options that will let you follow our programs with peace of mind.
Advisors are at your disposal to review the most suitable solution with you and offer payment in 3 installments once the registration fees have been paid.
Banking Partnerships
Most banks offer preferential-rate loans to enable young students to finance their studies.
IESA has signed the partnership agreement with Caisse d’épargne allowing future students to benefit from preferential-rate loans, as well as special offers such as opening an account…
The work-study contract is for all young people aged 16 to 25 inclusive and for job seekers aged 26 and over. Its aim is to enable them to acquire a professional qualification and to promote their professional integration or reintegration.
Beneficiaries aged 16 to 25 inclusive are paid a percentage of the minimum wage according to their age and level of training; employees aged 26 and over receive pay that can be neither lower than the minimum wage nor 85% of the contractual minimum wage.
The apprenticeship contract is offered to young people aged 16 to 25 and the professionalization contract to students over 26.
This contract entitles the employer, for certain hires and within certain limits, to an exemption from employer social security contributions. Incentive aid for returning to work under a professionalization contract may be paid by Assédic.
The student will have to find the work-study contract on their own and will then be on an alternating fixed-term contract between their company and the school, with dual student/employee status.
CIF, Professionalization, CPF
Individual Training Leave (CIF)
Available on our professional training programs. This type of funding is intended for company employees, but also for people on fixed-term contracts who can show 24 months of work in the last 5 years.
The individual training leave (CIF-CDI) is the right to be absent from one’s job to take a training program of one’s choice. To benefit from it, the employee must meet certain conditions and submit a request to the employer, following a set procedure. For CIF-CDD procedures, a request to the employer is not necessary and the procedures are simpler. For any CIF, the employee may, under certain conditions, have the desired training covered, as well as their salary, by the joint approved collecting body for CIF (OPACIF) or by bodies whose remit is limited to one company or group of companies (AGECIF)…
The Professionalization Period
The professionalization period aims to help the least-qualified employees stay employed through training. The professionalization period is open to any employee on a permanent or fixed-term contract. The professionalization period is implemented:
- either by the employer, as part of the company’s training plan,
- or by the employee.
An employee who wishes to benefit from a professionalization period must request it from their employer. If they wish, the employee can use the training hours recorded on their personal training account (CPF). This period can range from 70 hours to 12 months of training and can take place during or outside working hours.
Personal Training Account (CPF)
The personal training account (CPF) has replaced the individual right to training (DIF) since January 1, 2015. The CPF is open to every employee and gives them access to short or modular training. The CPF is credited automatically at the end of each year in proportion to the time the employee worked during the year, up to a ceiling.
They will accumulate 24 hours of CPF per year of work until reaching a credit of 120 hours. Using the CPF is solely the employee’s initiative. The employer therefore cannot require an employee to use their CPF to fund training.
There are also specific support schemes such as the CSP (Contrat de sécurisation professionnelle), PSEs (Plans sociaux économiques), PDVs (Plans de départ volontaire), or Congés de Reclassement, which are intended for employees of certain companies subject to an economic redundancy procedure. It provides a set of measures favoring a faster return to lasting employment. The employer is required to offer it to the employee, who may decline it.
Job seekers may be eligible for financial aid by contacting the following organizations linked to their place of residence: local missions, town halls, regional councils, Pôle emploi, pension funds.
Other financial arrangements may be available depending on your situation: contact us for any additional information.
