Calendar for work-study programs under professional training contracts at ENSEGID

September to March: 1 month at school, 1 month at a company
April to September: company

*Student attendance at the company during school holidays

Work-study program with a^third year under a professional training contract

A professional training contract is a work-study contract of variable duration (usually 12 months) signed between a company and an engineering student in their final year of study, which allows them to combine the acquisition of theoretical knowledge with the acquisition of practical skills within a company. The company and the student sign an employment contract, and the student then acquires employee status. This status confers on them the rights and duties of a company employee (remuneration, social security, pension contributions, paid leave, etc.). Remuneration cannot be less than 80% of the minimum wage for young people between the ages of 21 and 26 (75% of the minimum wage for those under 21).
