Apprenticeship and Professional Training Contract
Apprenticeship
An apprenticeship is a work-study program that combines the acquisition of practical skills and expertise at a workplace with academic and practical instruction provided at the university.
Young people aged 16 to 30, unless an exception applies: individuals recognized as workers with disabilities; those pursuing higher education through an apprenticeship (with a break of less than one year); those planning to start or take over a business; those whose previous apprenticeship contract has been terminated; and elite athletes.
Benefits for the apprentice:
- An apprentice is not like other students. They retain their status as an employee, so the time spent at the university is paid as working hours.
- An apprenticeship allows you to earn a diploma while working
- The lengthy duration of the internship (nearly 9 months) allows you to enhance your resume with real-world professional experience.
- Enjoy the same rights at work as other employees (vacation, bonuses, etc.)
- Be covered by social security
- An apprentice’s wages are not taxable, up to the minimum wage, even if the apprentice is included in their parents’ tax household
- Counting apprenticeship periods toward retirement
- Eligibility for the Housing Assistance Program (APL)
