Are you looking to recruit an apprentice?

As a recruitment tool to meet the need for skilled labour or a shortage of skills in a particular profession, work-linked training offers a number of advantages for companies.

Training an apprentice facilitates their integration into the company and enables them to acquire specific skills. As a result, they are more likely to be hired with confidence once they have completed their training.

A RECRUITMENT SOLUTION TAILORED TO YOUR NEEDS

The 3rd year at BUT is offered on a sandwich course basis to students from the Avignon University IUT, enabling the company to train new employees to adapt their skills to its business lines and ensure the long-term development of its activities.

The content and organisation of work-linked training courses are tailored to the recruitment problems faced by companies in their sector of activity. Work-linked training is a way of dealing with a shortage of applicants for jobs that are in short supply.

CONTROLLING WAGE COSTS

Training an employee on a sandwich course enables the company to make substantial savings compared with taking on a conventional employee. To compensate for the effort involved in training work-study students, work-study contracts offer lower minimum levels of pay than those offered to ordinary employees, and the company does not count its work-study students when calculating its workforce (and the resulting obligations).

FORWARD-LOOKING MANAGEMENT OF JOBS AND SKILLS

Adapted to the needs of companies with immediate recruitment requirements, work-linked training is also a way of preparing for the eventual recruitment of skilled employees to meet future needs.

Recruiting a young person on a work-linked training scheme is a good way of anticipating the company's growth, without running the risk of weakening it financially, as the employer is not obliged to offer a job at the end of the work-linked training contract.

Work-linked training can be an investment in preparation for eventual permanent employment to meet the company's development objectives.

EXTENSION OF SUPPORT FOR APPRENTICESHIP CONTRACTS UNTIL 2027

Financial assistance for any young person recruited on a one-year apprenticeship contract: €6,000 for an apprentice, regardless of age.

Open to all companies, for contracts signed with an apprentice, for the first year of the contract.
