If ensuring your own job is the main objective of TPE leaders, 45 % of them also plan to recruit within 12 months, especially in the following sectors: education, health, social action;business services ;construction-btp.Note also that the health crisis has influenced young people more in their decision to undertake and that for 30 % of them, the crisis acted as a "click".

One of the direct consequences of the COVVI-19 crisis in business life was the adoption of digital.The increased use of technologies to continue working and developing its activity has proven to be an essential asset to perpetuate its activity during confinements.The crisis has changed the eyes of digital entrepreneurs: more than 3/4 of them are now more important to their digital strategy (vs.1/3 of all entrepreneurs interviewed in December 2020).Digital is not the prerogative of young people and concerns all categories and most sectors of activity, starting with the hotel and restoration, education/health/social, services to individuals and businesses.The urgent need for action in the face of the pandemic has given businesses the opportunity to innovate and accelerate their digital transformation to respond to the critical effects on their activity.Companies that have been able to undertake their digital transformation before the crisis are not surprisingly those able to anticipate their less agile competitors today.
