Pay the apprenticeship tax

The close link between Dauphine and socio-professional environments guarantees that I'm able to develop the skills that companies need. Being in a work-study program at HSBC, I measure the strength of this link and the benefits by the resulting apprenticeship and career perspectives. In my 3rd year, I got the chance to complete a semester in Shanghai. The international mobility offered by Dauphine therefore truly added value to my academic path; today I can appreciate the benefits of that added value, as I work at a Chinese-British bank. 

Owing to the support of our business partners and the apprenticeship tax allocated to our education program, the Magistère in Banking, Finance and Insurance at Dauphine was able to launch new courses in computer science and data science, in addition to a series of conferences on sustainable finance and ESG standards, new teaching approaches in which students must tackle challenges within groups, and numerous meetings arranged to better understand ongoing transformations in Europe and Asia. 

Each year, Carrefour pays apprenticeship tax to the Université Paris Dauphine – PSL, which is a very important partner for us. We hire a lot of people from Dauphine, especially in our excellence programs, as they are top-notch profiles. This contribution helps to develop high-quality programs and enables us to participate in educational and vocational activities provided to students.

Our programs are reinvented each year to follow the paradigm shift, and to anticipate it to help our students gain better understanding of the risks and opportunities. The apprenticeship tax helps provide us with the means to innovate and promote our programs and create an international dimension. It is an essential component that each year helps us to come up with new options and provide the best possible programs for tomorrow’s leaders.

For us, the work-study program means an opportunity to develop our skills and significantly improve our employability. Our apprenticeship program allows us to combine theory and practice in stimulating, highly demanding environments. Working on statutory audit assignments in parallel to our studies, we gain an appreciation of the professional world in all its complexity from a different perspective.
