Here are some links for ''stage de réorientation":
Quand il devient difficile de poursuivre une année de formation malengagée et que l’étudiant est amené à envisager une réorientation qui ne pourra pas se faire avant la rentrée suivante, il peut
mettre à profit c temps disponible, pour effectuer un stage
en entreprise afin de découvrir un métier ou un monde professionnel sans rapport avec sa formation initiale.
Objectif
Le stage de réorientation est un outil qui s’inscrit dans un processus d’
accompagnement par le SIO de l’étudiant en difficulté par rapport à ses études et souhaitant une réorientation. L’objectif est de lui permettre de réaliser un
stage professionnel dans un domaine
qui ne correspond pas à celui de sa formation actuelle. Ce stage doit aider l'étudiant à construire un nouveau projet de formation.

Dernière pierre à l'édifice, les élèves qui souhaitent éventuellement changer de cursus peuvent effectuer un stage de réorientation. "L'idée est de permettre aux étudiants hésitant à s'engager dans tel ou tel secteur de se confronter à une réalité professionnelle", explique Carole Accolas.

Refresher course
Could this be referring to some kind of refresher course for someone who has been away from the profession for a while, or to update knowledge of new technology, terminology, methods etc.? If so, does the original state what exactly was being refreshed?

career development course
as I send in my comment... isn't it (probably) to do with skills not longer being needed? ... so building on "transferable skills"? And the equivalent Anglo-Saxon euphemism is therefore "career development". You have no career any more my friend. About time you developed one.

reorientation course
Too obvious? Or maybe not. In the absence of more context it fits the bill.

Zero context. If no other information is given or available the only choice is a literal translation. "Reorientation" is equally valid in French and English, so why not use it it? Gallicism - I don't really think so, and, if so, so what?

: a gallicism?... one that has yet to gain currency I'd say (no doubt it will). Your answer makes me think of that Schwarzenegger film, "Total Recall", I think, where his mind and personality are reorientated every so often. So maybe it does fit the bill

Discussion
"Sont également intégrés à un cursus, dès lors qu’ils satisfont à ces conditions, les stages de réorientation, de formation complémentaire et les stages se déroulant pendant une période de césure"
