Working under an apprenticeship contract in France

Facebook Twitter LinkedIn Email Working on an apprenticeship contract in France Students An apprenticeship contract is a limited-term or indefinite-term employment contract between an employee and an employer. It allows the apprentice to follow alternating training in a company under the responsibility of a master apprentice and in a vocational training center. Apprenticeship contracts, which were previously only accessible to foreign students after a one-year stay in France, are now open to first-time arrivals enrolled in a Master's degree (a diploma recognized by the State) or in one of the level I diplomas labeled by the Conference of Grandes Écoles, listed in this list. Applications are made through the Études en France platform. Except for these courses, registrations for other courses including an apprenticeship or professionalization contract remain inaccessible to first-time arrival students. It is therefore mandatory for these students to be enrolled in initial training with a "student" status.
