What is the rhythm of the work-study program at INSEEC?
The rhythm of thework-study program varies according to the schools and campuses, but also according to the student’s level of study. Do not hesitate to contact the school of your choice for more information on this subject.
For example, there could be two days at school and three days at the company each week, or an alternating week (one week at the company / one week at school).
Work-study programs can be carried out under two types of contracts, each of which does not give access to the same rights:
- The professionalization contract
The pro contract is a contract between an employer and a student. It is intended for students between the ages of 16 and 25, and forjob seekers over the age of 26. The student generally signs a 12-month fixed-term contract that can be extended to 24 months if necessary.
| Under 21 years old | From 21 to 25 years old | 26 years and older | |
|---|---|---|---|
| 65% of the minimum wage | 80% of the minimum wage | 100% of the minimum wage |
- The apprenticeship contract.
As for theapprenticeship contract, it is more regulated. It also concerns young people from 16 to 25 years old and the age limit can even be extended to 30 years old in certain cases.
Here, thealternation is based on theoretical teaching in your training center (INSEEC) on the one hand, and on the other hand, on the teaching of the job at theemployer‘s. You must complete 400 hours of training and the duration of your contract may vary between 1 and 3 years.
You will also have to be supervised by anapprentice master, either by theemployer or by another employee of thecompany. This person will have to give you all the knowledge you need to obtain your title or diploma.
| School Year | Under 18 years old | From 19 to 21 years old | 21 years and older |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1st year | 25% of the minimum wage | 41% of the minimum wage | 53% of the minimum wage |
| 2nd Year | 37% of the minimum wage | 49% of the minimum wage | 61% of the minimum wage |
What are the advantages of work-study programs?
Thework-study program offers many advantages, among them:
- The acquisition of a real professional experience
By alternating between school and company, you will be able to acquire all the theory necessary for your training while putting it into practice directly in your company. You will learn a lot and this will allow you to “grow”, to become more quickly a real professional in your field of activity.
You will acquire many qualifications and important professional skills, which will not fail to satisfy your future recruiters, who are for the most part, very sensitive to this type of profile.
- No tuition fees and a monthly salary
With thework-study program, your tuition fees are entirely covered by the host company and more specifically by a specialized organization. These are often quite large amounts (between 5-10K€). So it’s a real relief for you not to have to take that money out. This way you can study with peace of mind.
Awork-study program is an excellent way to finance your studies. You will even receive a salary from your company (depending on the type of contract you have signed) which will allow you to pay your rent, your groceries and your bills for example.

- A real accompaniment
Throughout your work-study period, you will be accompanied by your tutor orapprenticeship master who will pass on his or her professional knowledge and skills. You will also be accompanied at INSEEC by our Corporate Relations Department, which will help you become a real professional thanks to coaching and job-dating. You will be followed and accompanied in your search and in the setting up of your contract. It is therefore a real advantage to be able to benefit from these different services.
