Chamber News | EFE International, a solution for French companies abroad

The CCFL participated to French webinar “EFE INTERNATIONAL” organized by expat.com in partnership with EFE International on the topic: Supporting French entrepreneurs abroad on October 13th.

EFE International is a structure co-founded by the National Committee of French Foreign Trade Advisor (CCEF) and the CCIFI in order to support as effectively as possible the French Entrepreneurs Abroad (EFE), in particular by ensuring the portage of International Volunteers (VIE) in companies or by providing financing solutions.

The main topic discussed was recruiting young French talent.

Thanks to EFE International, you can now strengthen your team by recruiting qualified human resources through the V.I.E. formula.

Are you a French company abroad?
This offer is intended for companies meeting the following criteria:

• You are a French company abroad ?
• You have created and/or run a company in your country of residence.

This mechanism creates a legal link between EFE and France and allows you to access new services that were previously inaccessible.
Once you have joined EFE International, you will be able to submit your V.I.E. application through EFE International in Paris.

It is therefore a real facilitation tool to support the businesses of French people abroad.
