The CRPE (for professional re-education agreement in the company) is a practical and tutored training which can be supplemented by professional training and at the end of which the employee not only has new skills, but also the experience of a new profession.

It is put in place at the end of a work stoppage and is formalized in the form of an agreement concluded between the employee, the employer and the primary health insurance fund (or general social security fund) and an amendment to the employment contract signed by the employee.

Depending on the case, the health insurance social service or the occupational health and prevention service can coordinate the procedures with the employee, his employer, the occupational physician and Cap emploi or Comète France.
