Apprenticeships and professional training contracts

Learning

Apprenticeship is a work-study program that combines the acquisition of know-how and skills on the job with academic and practical training at the university.

Young people aged 16 to 30, with the following exceptions: people recognized as disabled workers, those pursuing a higher level of study through apprenticeship (with an interruption of less than a year), those planning to set up or take over a business, those breaking a previous apprenticeship contract, top-level sportsmen and women.

Benefits for the apprentice :

  • Apprentices are not like other students. They retain their status as employees, and their time at the faculty is therefore paid as working time.
  • Apprenticeship enables you to obtain a diploma in a work situation
  • The length of time spent on the job (almost 9 months) means you can add real professional experience to your CV.
  • Enjoy the same rights within the company as other employees (vacations, bonuses, etc.)
  • Social insurance
  • The apprentice's salary is not taxable, up to the minimum wage, even if the apprentice is attached to the parents' tax household.
  • Apprenticeship periods taken into account for pension purposes
  • Possibility of receiving personalized housing assistance (APL)
