In this context, "to encourage long-term job seekers to go to" company training with a promise of employment, a bonus of "1000 euros" will be granted to them - "half at the beginning, half at the end of the training, ”she continued.
It is a question of "encouraging them to go towards these trades which recruit and it is also to remove the financial brakes", such as travel expenses, she added.

She noted that "40,000 contracts of this type have been signed since the start of the year", against "1,600 in 2020".
