From energy and digital technologies to agriculture, health, space and mobility, the €34 billion France 2030 scheme from the government is shining a spotlight on the wide array of training opportunities and job paths available to young people looking to start their journey in building a career in a “future-proof” industry. Now in its third year, the scheme recently unveiled a new programme with over 48,000 training places and an increased focus on sustainability and decarbonisation.
The job market of the future will likely look very different from that of today. New possibilities, roles and even entire industries are being created at lightning speed, and the French Government wants to ensure that the nation will be able to keep up with this changing environment.
The newest programme from France 2030, an ambitious national investment plan worth €34 billion, will see 160 training facilities around the country offer 48,800 talented and motivated young people the preparation they need to take on careers in fields that will be in high demand in the coming years.
Jobs of the future
The transition to renewable energies, for example, will open many doors to those who have the skills to help in France’s quest to decarbonise the economy. Students of sustainable agriculture will also find themselves in high demand as land and crop management become increasingly important in maintaining a level of output necessary to feed the population. Those interested in biomedical research and development will see a spike in demand, as will those attracted to jobs in industry, where engineers specialising in connected factories, cybersecurity or artificial intelligence will be essential in modernising and optimising production processes. Work in the space sector is expected to skyrocket too, as the race to explore the final frontier grows.
