Apprenticeship and professionalization contracts:
how they work
Applicants for professionalization contracts must be no older than 25 and for apprenticeship contracts younger than 30 at the time of signing. International students from outside the EU cannot sign a contract if they do not have a "student" residence permit and have been resident in France for less than a year.
Students sign a contract with a company for a period of one year if they are studying for an undergraduate degree or for the second year of a Master’s program (M2), and for two years if applying for both years of a Master’s program (M1 + M2).
Work-study students divide their time between working at the company and taking classes on the Porte Dauphine and Saint Georges (IPJ) campuses.
The schedule for company / university work-study programs varies per program and is updated annually in order to meet the requirements of the profession in question.
