The VIE Program

The V.I.E. or Volontariat International en Entreprise is an international mobility HR program secured by the French State which allows a company under French law to entrust a professional mission abroad to a French talent or a national of the European Economic Area, aged between 18 and 28 at the beginning of the mission.

The process is simple to implement:

• You define the mission that corresponds to your situation: market research, commercial prospecting, coordination of distribution networks, reinforcement of local teams, support for a contract or a site, engineering, quality control, technical support for a local agent, etc.
• You define the duration of the assignment: from 6 to 24 months, renewable once within this period

The V.I.E formula allows you to :

• Control your budget: exemption from social security contributions in France, possibility of financing your V.I.E.
• Delegate the administrative management to Business France
• Have a flexible HR formula: transfers from one country to another, 6 to 24 month contract, sharing of the cost and time of your V.I.E by several companies.

Expenses related to the use of a V.I.E. often benefit from national and regional aid: import-export credit, export development loan from Bpifrance, subsidised payment of a large part of the cost of the V.I.E. in many French regions, etc.
