终身化使得法国的职业技术教育形成了以学校教育为基础、以各方联合为纽带、以资金投入为支撑、以能力认可为鼓励、以教育立法为保障的特点。2013年7月9日,法国总统弗朗索瓦·奥朗德在爱丽舍宫接见了刚从德国莱比锡结束世界技能大赛决赛回国的法国技能团队。这45名有天资的年轻选手,赢得了2枚金牌、5枚银牌、1枚铜牌和16枚卓越徽章,得到了他们所期盼的最高评价。 Lifelong life makes France’s vocational and technical education formed on the basis of school education, with all parties as a link, with funding support as the encouragement of ability recognition, educational legislation as a guarantee. On July 9, 2013, French President François Hollande met at the Elysee Palace with a French skills team that just returned from the final of the World Skills Competition in Leipzig, Germany. The 45 talented young athletes won two gold medals, five silver medals, one bronze medal and 16 emblems of excellence, obtaining the highest rating they hoped for.
