apprenticeship, a popular system, but costly for the state

Immersed in the deep end during all her training. Amel Hamidi, 21, chose apprenticeship for her bac + 2 in internet communication. A profession that she learned in a young company which manages an online sales platform. Out of 22 employees, eight are apprentices. “It’s a whole different approach to making school files”, underlines the apprentice in digital communication. A valuable experience for the young person, paid 970 euros net per month. A good deal for the company too.

Each adult apprentice that she employs allows her to obtain a subsidy of 8,000 euros per contract. An allocation justified in the eyes of his employer: “An apprentice is a trained person, who brings a lot to the company, but who takes part of the time of the employee who trains him”, affirms Diane Scemama, founder of the company “Dream Act”. A popular system, but costly for the State, which will have to choose next spring whether or not to extend aid for the hiring of apprentices.
