Apprenticeship Support: Who Qualifies and What You Get

Learn how this scheme provides subsidized training and a salary for young adults and career changers in France.

This scheme provides financial support and training opportunities through an apprenticeship arrangement, known locally as alternance. It allows you to gain professional experience while working and studying at the same time.

Who it's for

This program is designed for young adults and individuals looking to change their career paths.

What you get

You will receive assistance with your training costs, which are subsidized by the government. Additionally, you will receive a salary while you are undergoing your training.

What it costs you

The main challenge is the time and effort required to find an employer, such as a restaurant, that is willing to take on an apprentice.

The catch to know

Because you are splitting your time between a workplace and a classroom, the alternating rhythm of school and work can be exhausting.

How to apply

  1. Decide on the career path or training you wish to pursue.
  2. Search for an employer willing to sign a training contract (contrat d'apprentissage).
  3. Complete the necessary registration steps through the official portal.
