Employment and recruitment: job fairs, Industry Week and France Travail
In early November 2026, several initiatives were announced to bring candidates and employers closer together, notably the first 'Operation Pyrenees' trade show scheduled from November 17 to 19, featuring 350 recruitment opportunities in industry and defense. Job fairs, speed-dating events, and campaigns promoting careers in industry and food processing are being organized across various regions, while Industry Week and National Food Processing Employment Week highlight recruitment needs. The debate also covers hiring difficulties, apprenticeships following the reduction of subsidies, and accusations by one business leader that France Travail is competing unfairly. On November 13, the Élysée proposed reappointing Thibaut Guilluy as head of France Travail, a choice that must be validated by Parliament.
