Les Opca SONT prêts pour la transformation en opérateurs de compétences (CEREQ)
La transformation profonde déjà bien engagée des OPCA devenus sur les dernières années opérateurs de compétences pourrait ainsi constituer un point d’appui solide à la réforme annoncée.
Le métier des OPCA, ces organismes paritaires collecteurs agréés chargés du financement de la formation professionnelle, s’est considérablement transformé depuis la réforme de 2014.
Leur rôle initial de collecteur s’est vu en effet largement redéfini, entraînant le développement d’une nouvelle activité de conseil et d’ingénierie ajustée aux attentes des entreprises. Alors qu’une nouvelle réforme de la formation professionnelle continue se prépare, qu’est devenue aujourd’hui l’activité des OPCA ?
De moins en moins « banquiers », de plus en plus « conseillers » en RH
Des OPCA et des TPE qui peinent encore à se rencontrer
Quelles perspectives… ?

Sortir des inégalités femmes - hommes : le regard des salariés du privé
Redirect FB algorithms now and 4 lessons from #CambridgeAnalytica #digitalcitizens
By Inge Ignatia de Waard. Anyone interested in data and ethics has been reading a gazillion of articles the last week. So, time to recap the big results coming out of the Cambridge Analytica files: correlations have their scientific merits (argh!), humans can be profiled in just 12 likes (honestly, this is how diverse we all are?!), anything measured can be used against us (a Cobra), and teachers around the globe seem more ethical than scientists (my partner says it’s true, I say it isn’t). Well... manipulation is part of history, I guess... but still. More...
Interested in integrated degrees: it’s time to listen to what students want
The Government’s consultation into post-18 education brings with it an opportunity for the higher education sector to review its place in society and its offer to students. The future landscape of higher education is now often framed by uncertainty. What is certain, however, is that – as shown in HEPI’s most recent report – the demand for higher education looks set to continue over the coming decade, as the number of qualified young people increases.

As the NUS conference gets ready to kick off, where next for the student voice?
To many people, that seems uncontroversial. But there are lots of reasons why it is not sensible. First, students go to higher education to grow and mature. The majority of new undergraduates are barely adults and have little idea about how to protect and run organisations with turnovers in the hundreds of millions of pounds. More...
Opening up opportunity: social mobility and the Higher Education and Research Act (2017)
In her inaugural speech, Prime Minister Theresa May stood outside the door to Number 10 and spoke profusely about her mission ‘to make Britain a country that works for everyone’. She committed to fighting what she recognised as being societal ‘injustices’ and specifically alluded, among others, to the fact that ‘if you’re a white, working-class boy, you’re less likely than anybody else in Britain to go to university’ – a subject already discussed in detail in a previous HEPI report.

Up for review: university fees and funding
There are a number of things to be welcomed in the announcement of the tertiary review, of which one of the most important is a commitment to the principle that those who benefit from higher education should contribute to its costs. More...
The regulatory challenges for university executives and governors
The arrival of the Office for Students (OfS) as a data-driven, risk-based, predominantly market regulator lays emphasis on institutions to devise robust internal systems of control that enable ‘co-regulation’ to be effective. More...
