Regional Associations for Training
Explanation:
The following report for the World Bank uses this translation:

Certain professional branches have set up regional observatories for their own needs.
Supported by the local enterprises of the sector, which are brought together within Regional
Associations for Training (Associations Régionales de Formation/AREF),
these mechanisms
particularly analyze the skills required for present and future employment. They are thus, to
some extent, similar to the ARIF of Madagascar. The observatories of the Construction and
Public Works Sector are exemplary in this respect: they proceed by a comparison, by groups
of trades, of the structure of the workforce, on the one hand, and the structure of the students
in training, on the other hand; the gap being interpreted as a sign of discordance between
employment-training.

Regional Employer/Employee Association for Development and Ongoing Training


Explanation:
The paritaire presumably means that there is equal representation between employers and employees (see Larousse - une assemblee/commission formee de representants en nombre egal des deux parties en presence)
