The Joint Monitoring and analytical prospective
trades and qualifications
24 février 2014
The Prospective Observatory and Analytical Skills Trades and Metallurgy, was
established in 2004 as part of the National Joint Committee Employment
Training of metallurgy.
Its mission is to enlighten the social partners, businesses and stakeholders on :
• the development of skills and qualifications of the metallurgical industry,
• the practices and trends observed in recruitment and mobility changes in
employment and skills needs.
Study results allow the National Joint Committee Employment to make any
proposal likely to identify priority professional training in the industry.
The Joint Technical Group "Observatory" identifies and disseminates methods and
useful tools for small and micro businesses to drive forward planning process jobs
and skills (GPEC).

The results of the study on the upstream of the automotive industry were published
in February 2O13. It includes manufacturers and suppliers (rank 1), and the rank of
sub-contractors and + 2 branches of metallurgy, plastics, rubber and glass.
Méthodology :
•
•
•
The Observatory uses macroeconomic studies, regional and local observations,
and based on the needs expressed by business, National Joint Committee
Employment and training, joint committees of regional employment and
vocational training.
Seven regions selected for their importance in the domestic auto industry and / or
subcontracting : Alsace, Franche-Comté Ile-de-France, Lorraine, Nord-Pas-deCalais, Loire and Rhône Alpes .
Recruitment needs = Δ + employment retirement +/- promotions to other trades +

Main results: Despite the erosion of employment, high external
recruitment needs
24 février 2014
The automotive sector "upstream" has lost a quarter of its workforce over the
period 2000-2010. Despite further declines and because of a pyramid particularly
aging and mobility of employees (internal promotions and departures to other
sectors), the industry will continue to recruit.
In both scenarios, external recruitment needs are high: between 20,000 and
25,000 external hires per year on average between 2010 and 2020 , including
13,000 at 16 000 recruitments in tier subcontractors 2 and more.
• The needs are highly concentrated in skilled workers, especially in tier
subcontractors 2 and more.
• Among manufacturers and suppliers, which more often integrated design
offices and research and development centers, the need for engineers as
well as technicians and supervisors will also be high.

The challenges for the future : New technologies, new skills
24 février 2014
The development of the future of the vehicle based on three areas of
technology that will require new skills :
•
•
•
economy of raw materials : need skills in eco-design, composite materials and
recycling,
electrified powertrains: need skills in chemistry and electronics
electronics and embedded computing: need skills in electronics and computing.
These new skills will grow at levels above +2 and Bac + 5. They will require an
adaptation of existing courses or create new courses.
However, companies should develop their training offer to train their workforce
in these new technologies .

The adequacy of initial training device
24 février 2014
Beyond the renewal of skills related to retirement, companies will find themselves
confronted, in some areas, a shortage of young trained trades they need.
•
•
•
Ile-de-France and Alsace, the current initial training may offer surplus to future
recruitment needs of the upstream automotive industry.
Lorraine, in the Nord-Pas-de-Calais and Loire, potential volumes graduates are
relatively well adapted to the recruitment needs of the upstream automotive
industry.
But in Franche-Comté and Rhône-Alpes, companies will face a strong young
graduates if the actual deficit in sections preparing for occupations in the car
remain at this level.

The value and competence are moving from "hard" to "soft" including treatment
of mobility data :
• Critical technologies concerned are: Mechatronics, human-machine
interfaces, 3D technologies, network engineering.
• Computers and electronics are essential, including the synergy they offer
with electrified vehicles (hybrid and electric).
New technologies require new skills, often with high added value :
• Eco-design vehicles requires the assistance of engineers specialized in the
environment.
• The revolution of "composites" (foams, plastics, carbon fiber ...) requires
expertise in specialty chemicals and plant chemistry (bio-based).
• Finally, new skills develop in the recycling industry.
Companies also noted particular tensions on conventional industry :
• base metal trades: welders, boilermakers
• mechanics: toolmakers, machinists, adjusters
of maintenance trades
• trades electronics.
