Depuis le 1er janvier 2017, le CPA est un outil qui permet à chacun de faire évoluer sa carrière.
Le compte personnel d’activité ou CPA est un outil destiné à aider les actifs à construire leur parcours professionnel. Il regroupe :
- Le compte personnel de formation (CPF) : il permet à toute personne active d’acquérir des droits à la formation et de les mobiliser tout au long de sa vie professionnelle.
- Le compte prévention pénibilité (CPP) : tout actif exposé à des facteurs de risque de pénibilité dans le cadre de son activité professionnelle cumule des points. Ces points, comptabilisés dans le CPP, sont convertibles en formation, temps partiel ou retraite anticipée.
- Le compte d’engagement citoyen (CEC) : il recense les activités de bénévolat ou de volontariat. Certaines de ces activités ouvrent un droit à la formation. Voir l'article...
