In-company Skills Development Programme (PACE)
PACE is aimed at several groups defined by the Grand Est Region: young people aged 18 to 26 subject to a qualification condition, jobseekers aged 26 to 54 subject to a qualification condition, jobseekers aged 55 or over, RSA recipients and people recognised as disabled workers.
