Apec supports managers, directors and young graduates from bac+3 onwards at all key stages of their professional journey and helps companies, especially very small and small businesses, to find the managerial skills they need and to cultivate their attractiveness.
In 2025, the job market for managers in the Île-de-France region contracted again. Companies recruited 136,350 managers (-5% compared to 2024). This decline is linked to the drop observed in high value-added services such as IT, engineering and R&D, and business consulting, which have a strong presence in Île-de-France. These sectors have been weakened by sluggish investment. By strengthening its actions with those who have the most needed (more than 20,000 senior managers, 3,020 young graduates from priority neighborhoods, and 80.3% of VSEs - SMEs, clients in 2025), and by consolidating its territorial network - full year of operation of the centers in Massy and Versailles - Apec Île-de-France has contributed to making the job market for managers in the Île-de-France region more fluide. .
