During the most recent renewal of the National Collective Bargaining Agreement for the Metalworking Industry, the social partners sought to place greater emphasis on training for company employees in order to enhance their skills.
In short, over the course of each three-year period (starting on June 1, 2021), companies must provide training programs totaling 24 hours per person to their permanent employees and those on fixed-term contracts of at least nine months’ duration.
Training programs must be developed in consultation with the RSU (if applicable), or by participating in regional or sector-specific initiatives, self-directed learning through distance learning and e-learning, attendance at conferences and seminars, or through on-the-job training directly within the company.
To this end, it has become necessary to establish an unincorporated nonprofit association, jointly managed by the parties that signed the National Collective Bargaining Agreement, named “MetApprendo,” with which companies must register by October 15, 2021, in order to fulfill their obligation to pay the one-time contribution.
