Work-linked training

AIX BUFENOUILLERES (cropped)

The "alternance" system defines a rhythm of study and a mode of transmission. It is characterized by a succession of periods of knowledge acquisition at the FDSP and in the field, in a host organization.

In the space of 10 years, the FDSP has more than tripled the number of work-study programs it offers, as well as the number of students, who now number over 600.

Combining theoretical instruction and professional application, these 17 excellent Bachelor's and Master's degree courses, located in Aix-en-Provence and Marseille, provide students with genuine experience to facilitate their integration into the world of work.

In collaboration with the Epure Méditerranée inter-university CFA and professional branches, the FDSP offers a wide range of career opportunities, from insurance and banking to corporate environmental and social governance, real estate, taxation, accounting, urban planning and transport.

The deployment of ISO 9001 certification for work-study programs is a real guarantee of quality, as is already the case for the Master's degree in Banking Law and Wealth Management,

Not only does work-study training provide a genuine gateway to employment and professional integration for students, it also contributes to the economic development of our region.

  • For the student

    Work-study programs enable students to :

    • choose a high-level diploma course that meets the needs of companies from a wide choice of professions
    • benefit from personalized, high-quality support throughout their training, provided by the apprentice master/company tutor and the university tutor
    • study at university while gaining initial experience in the workplace
    • be financially independent, and start contributing to your future (retirement, unemployment).
    • be operational as soon as they finish their studies, enabling them to make numerous contacts
  • For the company

    The work-study program is an opportunity for the company to :

    • test a future employee in terms of educational progress, as part of a pre-hiring strategy
    • choose to invest in training for the future
    • enter into a partnership with the university and make its needs heard there
    • gain access to a pool of highly-skilled candidates for future recruitment needs.
    • anticipate retirements while maintaining and transferring skills.
    • develop partnerships to optimize its territorial reach and attractiveness
    • enhance your employer brand
    • benefit from financial aid and exemption from social security contributions

Apprenticeship contract

Apprentices have dual status as students and employees (initial training).

As such, they sign an employment contract with an employer (in the form of a CERFA), while retaining access to the services provided by the university (CROUS) and, subject to certain income conditions, to family benefits (CAF) or social benefits (unemployment).

Apprentices have all the rights and duties of a company employee, and contribute towards their pension.

Apprentices are exempt from paying university tuition fees, in accordance with the French Labor Code.

They also benefit from CFA support (assistance with driving license, initial equipment, etc.). The FDSP's partner in managing apprenticeship contracts is the CFA EPURE Méditerranée.

The apprentice is supported throughout his or her contract by a university tutor when in training, and by an apprentice master when in the company.

  • Who can benefit from an apprenticeship contract?

    All students up to the age of 30 (or 29).

    Certain groups may sign an apprenticeship contract beyond this age limit, such as :

    • apprentices wishing to sign a new contract in order to obtain a higher level of qualification than the one they have already obtained,
    • people recognized as disabled workers,
    • people planning to set up or take over a business requiring the diploma or qualification concerned
    • top-level athletes.
  • How much does an apprenticeship contract pay?

    Remuneration under an apprenticeship contract is guaranteed by a salary scale:

Professionalization contract

Work-study students have dual status as students and employees (continuing education).

The work-study contract is concluded in the form of a fixed-term contract of 6 to 12 months (extendable) or a permanent contract with an employer (in the form of a CERFA), while retaining access to the services set up by the university (CROUS) and, subject to certain income conditions, to family benefits (CAF) or social benefits (unemployment). They have all the rights and duties of a company employee, and contribute towards their pension.

In accordance with the French Labor Code, they are exempt from paying university tuition fees.

The contract must be sent to the OPCO within 5 days of signature. Assignments and the host organization must be approved by the training supervisor.
