Marcel Rigout (10 May 1928 – 23 August 2014) was a French politician. He served as Minister of Vocational Training from 1981 to 1984, under former President François Mitterrand. From an early age, he was a member of the French Communist Party. To improve vocational skills, while serving as a government minister, Rigout helped to set up some 800 centres called either PAIO or missions locales between 1982 and 1984 where youngsters were provided with vocational guidance.
