Why choose a work-study program?
GIP CEI enables students enrolled in our courses to follow a sandwich course, thus promoting their integration into the world of work. Work-study programs allow students to combine theoretical training at school with practical training on the job, according to the rhythms specific to each program.
The work-study training period enables :
Preparing for a qualification as part of a career path
Diversifying teaching methods
This pedagogical system makes trainees more involved in their own training, as there is a permanent link between work situations and the lessons they take part in.
Accelerating maturity development
Professional activities enable trainees to acquire elements of social responsibility more quickly.
Facilitating subsequent professional integration
In many cases, employers will want to keep trainees on the payroll.
Our work-study programs are eligible for apprenticeship and/or professionalization contracts. These two types of (employment) contract combine theoretical training at our educational establishment with practical training at a company. They pursue the same training objective, but have specific application modalities.
The apprenticeship contract

Lasting between 1 and 3 years, it ends when the apprentice obtains the professional title registered with the RNCP or the diploma prepared. Form CERFA n°10103-04 / FA13a and notice CERFA N° 50032#04 / FA14a.
Compensation

Financement
The company pays the apprentice's tuition fees, via the Taxe d'Apprentissage. With the Region's agreement, if the Taxe d'Apprentissage does not cover the tuition fees, a financial partnership agreement will be signed between the company and the CFA, to make up the difference between the amount of tax available and the cost published on the prefectoral list. GIP CEI helps students and companies to prepare their applications.
