WORK-STUDY STUDENTS

Work-study programs are attracting more and more students and professionals seeking career change thanks to their unique model, which combines theoretical training with on-the-job experience. Available at all levels, from vocational certificates to master's degrees, and in many sectors, they represent a genuine springboard to employment.

The advantages of work-study

Financing studies and salaries

  • The work-study program allows you to fully finance your training: tuition fees are covered by the company or its funding body (OPCO, CNFPT).
  • The work-study student receives a monthly salary, calculated according to their age and level of education.
  • Possibility of obtaining other benefits: 13th month, meal vouchers, activity bonus, housing assistance, etc.

Rapid professionalization

  • The work-study program combines theoretical courses and business experience, which allows you to develop concrete and operational skills.
  • It promotes better professional integration: 6 out of 10 young people find a job within 6 months of their apprenticeship, often on a permanent contract.

Accessible and recognized training

  • Accessible from CAP to Bac+5, in many sectors.
  • The diploma obtained is the same as in initial training, but with additional professional experience.
  • Increasingly recognized, work-study programs are now seen as a path to excellence.

Advantageous status of the work-study student

The work-study student is both a student and an employee:

  • He benefits from employee rights (paid leave, mutual insurance, social protection, etc.)
  • And student benefits (discounts, student trade card, etc.)

Personal development

  • Work-study programs promote the development of soft skills: autonomy, sense of responsibility, communication, initiative.
  • The student is supervised by a company tutor and a training center advisor, to ensure effective and supervised learning.

A demanding rhythm

  • Alternation imposes a sustained pace (e.g.: 3 days company / 2 days school), with the same program as students in initial training, but over a reduced time.

Choosing a work-study program means taking the risk of a concrete, paid, and recognized apprenticeship, while earning a diploma equivalent to that of the initial training. It also means developing skills sought by employers, benefiting from personalized support, and strengthening your chances of entering the job market. In short, it's a strategic choice for building your professional future with confidence.
