Recent or planned changes

Since 2015, there is an unique ‘contrat d’alternance’. To solve coordination problems among different institutions, in 2015, the Ministers of vocational training in Wallonia and Brussels and the Federal Education Minister established new management in the form of the Francophone Office for WBL (OFFA), inaugurated in October 2015. OFFA aims at overseeing WBL in the Wallonia-Brussels region and supporting the work of different French-speaking operators.
