Do you want to recruit an apprentice? In addition to the basics on the apprentice’s contract, the ESSEC Apprenticeship Training Center (CFA) explains its vision of apprenticeship.

Apprenticeship is a strategic part of ESSEC’s educational and professional development process. It is a relevant and efficient answer to the changes and needs of companies. Following are the programs that include apprenticeship.

The apprenticeship program has been set up in a framework that specifies the rules of the game for all concerned. For optimal success, a rigorous approach based on respect is a must. The apprenticeship contract is for a fixed term, and it describes the rights and responsibilities of employer and employee.

Companies play an essential role by contributing assignments that provide practical application to ESSEC's teaching. The development of students professional experience within the company is crucial to apprenticeship training. This essential role involves responsibilities that lead to certain obligations. Corporate responsibilities are spelled out in documents sent to firms. These cover the nature of internships, lenghth, remuneration and issues concerning logistics.

The corporate supervisor is responsible for ensuring that the apprenticeship experience fulfills criteria for professional integration and growth.

A board of directors includes representatives of companies, Versailles Chamber of Commerce, ESSEC Business School and the government.

One of the primary goals of ESSEC’s Apprenticeship Training Center ("Centre de Formation des Apprentis" - CFA) is to serve the apprenticeship programs by producing assessment tools to evaluate students' work experience and skill acquisition.
