The sectoral analyses, studies of firms’ practices and observations of work carried out by Céreq are based on analyses of the Générations surveys (a national programme that tracks the early years of the working lives of young people of all levels of education and training) and the Defis surveys (on continuing training for employees), as well as on ad hoc surveys, field observations and the use of statistical data. These studies focus on analysing work and understanding the changes in occupations and the organising principles of sectors and industries, as well as on firms’ practices and identification of their skill requirements. The analyses, which connect directly with the major (digital and ecological) transformations, also adopt approaches looking forward over the medium and even long term.

The profiles of these manual workers, technicians and supervisors, who now tend to be more highly qualified and more functionally flexible, have become more diverse. In a sector in which work has become considerably denser and…
Occupations and skills observatories produce tools that can be used by industries, firms and employees. The various actors in vocational training regard them as playing an important role. This being so, their position is in need of strengthening; more specifically, their profile needs to be raised and their value better understood.
Greeting jobs require an extensive set of professional skills and practices. Over and above the wide range of jobs involved, the most obvious aspect of this skill set is the relational component. It also has a less visible aspect,namely self-organisation and the ability to 'go fishing for information'. However, a number of current developments may well be preventing workers from making full…
