Apprenticeship and professional training contract

Learning

Apprenticeships are a type of work-study program that combines the acquisition of skills and expertise with an employer and academic and practical instruction provided at a university.

Young people aged 16 to 30, unless exempted: persons recognized as disabled workers, those pursuing higher education through apprenticeships (interruption of less than one year), those planning to start or take over a business, those whose previous apprenticeship contract has been terminated, and high-level athletes.

Benefits for the apprentice:

  • Apprentices are not like other students. They retain their status as employees, and the time spent at university is therefore remunerated as working time.
  • Apprenticeships enable individuals to obtain a diploma in a work environment.
  • The long duration of the internship (almost 9 months) allows you to enrich your resume with real professional experience.
  • Enjoy the same rights in the company as other employees (vacation, bonuses, etc.)
  • Be covered by social security
  • The apprentice's salary is not taxable, up to the minimum wage limit, even if they are part of their parents' tax household.
  • Taking the apprenticeship period into account for retirement
  • Eligibility for personalized housing assistance (APL)
