The resources needed by individuals are provided by the individuals themselves, by the institutional environment, and also by their work context or by HRM practices.

The financing of training programs leading to the recognition and validation of transferable skills required for access to jobs available on the labor market is the basis of any “self-respecting” employability development policy, so much so that continuing education, skills development and employability are often considered by practitioners as synonymous terms.

Resources are also made up of all the skills accumulated over the course of a lifetime (human, social or symbolic capital), the rights and public measures available, time, informal knowledge provided by the professional context (knowledge of jobs, trends, etc.), formal information conveyed by HR or managerial supports (on careers, jobs, the environment, etc.), knowledge and skills acquired in training.

Furthermore, access to networks and information is one of the central factors in securing professional transitions, not only through knowledge of the possibilities of orientation, but also through the ability to present oneself or through the positive and reassuring signal sent to potential employers.

Finally, the provision of financial resources on the occasion of a professional transition or through remuneration practices that allow for the regular building of personal financial capital promotes risk-taking and the development of a capacity to move, a characteristic of employability (Forrier et al 2018).
