New apprentice age limit
Several regions are experimenting with a new, higher age limit for apprentices to give better employment opportunities for those in the 25-30 age group, hit by poor job prospects in past years.
At present, apprentices must be under 25-years-old but the new trial will extend this to 30 and it is being tested for three years in seven regions: Bretagne, Bourgogne-Franche-Comté, Centre-Val-de-Loire, Grand-Est, Hauts-de-France, Nouvelle-Aquitaine and Pays de la Loire.
