What does it really take to build a sustainable career in France as a foreigner? In this episode of Living the Dream: French Riviera, Cecile sits down with Cat, an English teacher who transformed her freelance work into a fully accredited training centre, now helping hundreds of professionals in France gain confidence in English.
Cat shares her remarkable professional evolution: • arriving in France with no job and navigating the shock of French administration • piecing together freelance work in Paris’ top universities • relocating to the Riviera only to discover a very different job market • deciding to launch her own training company and later a full Qualiopi certified training centre • mastering the complexities of France’s adult-training ecosystem, including the Compte Personnel de Formation (CPF) • strategically using lockdown and an office location to scale her business
Her story is a masterclass in career reinvention, entrepreneurship, and cultural integration. If you're dreaming of moving to France, or already here and seeking a sustainable professional path, Cat’s journey offers rare, expert insight into the real steps required to build a business and thrive.
