What OPCO 2i does

OPCO 2i (Opérateur de compétences interindustriel) is a French paritarian skills operator established in 2019 under the Loi Avenir professionnel reform, serving as the designated training and skills financing body for inter-industry and 29 industrial branches in France. Headquartered in Neuilly-sur-Seine, it covers 89,198 enterprises representing 2,909,460 employees and financed 97,089 apprentices in 2024, with 92% of assisted enterprises being small firms under 50 employees. Its core technology stack centers on Mon Compte 2i, a secure portal for managing training financing requests, apprenticeship contracts (CERFA), dossier tracking, and direct payments to training providers, complemented by EDI-based system-to-system integration for large enterprises, the Observatoire Compétences Industries research platform aggregating 200+ studies and 320 certification fact sheets, and a suite of self-diagnostic tools (Clic&Tech for digital maturity, CO2i for ecological transition, Compétences for talent management, Simulateur Alternance for cost estimation).

OPCO 2i operates under a hybrid public-funding model: mandatory professional training contributions are collected by URSSAF (transferred from OPCOs in January 2022), while OPCO 2i retains collection of conventional branch contributions and charges management fees of 3–4% on voluntary contribution plans for enterprises above 50 employees, €5,000–€8,000 annual fees for EDI services, and €2,000 per file for OFA contract structuring. Government funding is a material inflow, notably €75 million in 2023 and €21 million in 2024 through the Ministry of Labour's Transitions Industrie program for ecological and digital transition training. Distribution is primarily through a regional advisor network covering all French metropolitan regions, with self-serve digital portals and integrations with France Travail, La Bonne Alternance, Parcoursup, and 1 jeune 1 solution extending reach to job seekers and training organizations.

The product portfolio spans training financing (apprenticeship, professionalization contracts, Période de reconversion launching February 2026), skills diagnostics, direct payment services (2i Paiement Direct, 2i Gestion de plan, 2i Gestion simplifiée, 2i Data Transfert), specialty programs (Transitions Industrie, PROREFEI for energy efficiency engaging 850+ enterprises, Convention Relance Industrie supporting 19,000 enterprises through 2022), and certification services covering CQP, CQPI, Cléa, and AFEST/FOAD pedagogical modalities. Go-to-market is segmented by enterprise size (TPE <50, PME/ETI 50–2,000, Grands Comptes >2,000), with services tailored to each tier's administrative sophistication and GPEC obligations.

Revenue model

1. Formation professional contribution collection (historical): Prior to January 2022, OPCO 2i collected professional training contributions (CFP at 0.55% for companies under 11 employees, 1% for 11+ employees) and apprenticeship tax from enterprises. This collection function was transferred to Urssaf in 2022.
2. Branche conventionnelle contributions: In addition to contributions collected by Urssaf, certain professional branches decide on supplementary conventional contributions for training and/or social dialogue financing. OPCO 2i continues to collect these conventional contributions on behalf of branch social partners. Contributions for 2025 wages are due before March 1, 2026.
3. Voluntary training contributions: Enterprises may make voluntary contributions to OPCO 2i to access training financing and support services beyond mandatory contributions, particularly for larger enterprises (50+ employees) under the 2i Gestion de plan service.
4. Government funding programs (Transitions Industrie): OPCO 2i receives government funding allocations (75 million euros in 2023, 21 million euros in 2024) from the Ministry of Labour to finance training related to ecological and digital transitions for industrial enterprises, channeled through the Transitions Industrie fund.
5. 2i Gestion de plan management fees: For enterprises under voluntary contribution arrangements, OPCO 2i charges management fees of 3-4% for plan management services including training plan analysis, fund management, direct provider payments, and reporting.
6. 2i Contrat Pro Accompagné OFA fees: Training Organization Architect (OFA) intervention fee of 2,000 euros HT per file for contract structuring and management. From the second contract with the same enterprise for the same pathway, the fee reduces to 1,000 euros.
