Readers who are enemies of Anglicisms, please be understanding. The following job titles come from another world, the world of networks and digital technologies, and are therefore still difficult to translate into Molière’s language. So, do you know the job of a UX manager? Data Protection Officer or “DPO” for short? If this is not the case, don’t worry, Le Parisien-Aujourd’hui en France will help you get started.

These professions, which still struggle to attract women (digital only accounts for 30%), lack visibility. Another challenge: the creation of schools, especially in regions or urban policy priority areas (QPPV). In early April, while traveling in Roubaix (Hautes-de-France), Muriel Penicault presented her skills investment plan, which plans to finance 10,000 training courses by the end of 2019, following the launch of a major digital school launched in 2015 by François Hollande. “In the digital world, you don’t need to carry a suitcase with chess: a warehouse worker or unemployed person can become a programmer, a LiFi lighting technician, a home automation installer or a web editor,” said the Labor Minister.
