🇬🇧 English

This French government decree authorizes the recruitment of 22 administrative assistant positions in national education and higher education for the year 2026 exclusively through the PACTE pathway. PACTE is a special recruitment route designed for individuals who face difficulties accessing public sector employment, offering them a structured path with training and probationary periods leading to permanent civil servant status. The 22 positions are distributed across eight specific academies: Amiens (4), Bordeaux (6), Limoges (2), Nancy-Metz (2), Poitiers (3), Reims (2), Rennes (1), Strasbourg (1), and Toulouse (1). Candidates must submit applications through their local France Travail agency (formerly Pôle Emploi) based on their place of residence. Only pre-selected candidates will be invited for an interview. The closing date for applications will be set separately by each regional academy rector.
