Got a European passport? Get paid to learn! French, Cooking, and many more!

Why spend your time and resources looking through expensive French schools when you can actually get paid to learn the language in France!
 This service is offered for young job seekers under 25.
If you are above 25 you are still be entitled for free French lessons.
  
When I went into the CIERES (website) center in Marseilles hoping to subscribe to their French lessons the last thing I expected was to be offered to get paid training.

After going to their center in Rue Montlieu they redirected me to the Mission Locale (website) and told me to ask for the Inscription ETAPS.

In the Mission Locale I found out that they offer a variety of training such as Plumbing, Cooking (and tourism), Math, PC orientation classes and much more!
And the best thing about it is they actually pay you to learn these professions!
The training are offered as aid for young job seekers. You will be paid anywhere between 300-650 Euro a month for training of 35/hrs a week. Depending if you have work experience.

Now it is not much but along with the CAF (rent assistance) it should be enough to live on while you learn the language and find a job.
For now I am still studying there and although the learning process is rather slow compared to professional institutes it is still a great deal!




Above 25?
Dont despair! you can still get free french lessons, If you are in Marseilles go check out the CIERES center in 15, Rue de Terrass.
If you want more information about free french lessons or training contact your local mairie (town hall) or Mission Locale.


This is information about the paid training in Marseilles but similar programs are offered all over France, I would appreciate any information about paid training anywhere else in France.
