Getting into HR in France

Abigail

Hi there,

I graduated last year with a law degree in the UK and am now on a fixed contract as an HR assistant in an international company, supporting both UK and European employees.

I really want to go to France to experience work over there and improve my language, but am wondering if there is an equivalent to the CIPD in France? Or what qualifications are necessary to get experience? I was looking at doing a masters in HR over there so wonder if this may be worth pursuing again?

Thanks!

  • Hi Abigail,
    Please head over to the European Association for People Management 'EAPM' website, which CIPD is also a member of. The Association forms an umbrella body of national organisations which represent HR professionals.

    The French HR association in 'EAPM' list is called Association Nationale Des Directeurs De Ressources Humaines (ANDRH) National Association of Human Resources Directors.

    In respect to your UK qualifications,
    I highly recommend you get an evaluation of all your qualifications by the French evaluation authority 'CIEP'. In Europe CIPD is probably the biggest HR and no doubt the oldest HR Association and from what I understand French education is very different from the UK. You should try looking for a dual masters in HR provided by French and UK university together or others. This will definitely shine on your CV.

    I hope this information helps.
