Should one pursue work-study training?

Alternating allows students to combine business missions with their theoretical courses. The

In 2011, around 630,000 alternating contracts were established in France, and the popularity of this bridge between studies and businesses is renewed. This article reviews 2012 and predicts sunny days to alternate.

Here are the main components of an alternating pathway:

Time is divided between school and the company. The rhythm can be 3 days for 2 days of school or 2 weeks for 2 weeks of school. This depends on both the needs of the company and the school system.

The trainee gains professional experience, is trained in a profession and a corporate culture.

Alternating allows students to undertake concrete missions tailored to their profile.

It opens professional opportunities and facilitates the integration of students into the job market. Indeed, alternating offers a real enriching professional experience on a CV.

Allows companies to benefit from new knowledge, a fresh perspective, and new ideas.

For the student: training costs paid by the company, monthly remuneration, other benefits (meal vouchers, holiday vouchers, company mutual insurance…).

For the company: financial bonus if more than 4% of employees are alternating in companies with more than 250 employees (penalty otherwise).

It is therefore a win-win system but leads to mutual commitments

The company commits to:

Train the trainee in the relevant occupation.

Consider the trainee as a full-fledged employee, that is to say, a concerned and engaged actor.

For its part, the student trainee must demonstrate:

Discretion.

Punctuality.

Motivation and commitment.

Consistency in communication with their tutor and the rest of the department.

Reflection to question their progress.

Making this choice involves defining your professional project in order to find a rewarding offer. Nothing is used to seek alternating solely for your tuition fees to be covered.

Like your successive school training, alternating will shape your professional future. The mission must interest you so that you can put your motivation to the service of the company’s interests, as well as your own interests by developing your knowledge and professional skills.
