During the 3rd year of their engineering program, Chimie ParisTech - PSL offers its students the opportunity to follow an apprenticeship in the form of professionalization contracts.
Procedure
Students wishing to follow an apprenticeship during the final year of the engineering cycle are recruited by a company that will take them on for one year from September (the start of the school year). The student is paid and signs a professionnalisation contract with the company, using the CERFA 12434*02 model.
The student submits an employment contract to Chimie ParisTech - PSL and the company signs a training agreement with Chimie ParisTech - PSL. This agreement specifies the number of hours of classes, the invoicing conditions and any coverage by a State-approved skills operator organism (OPCO). An appendix specifies the student's weekly timetable and how it is divided between the company and the school, as well as the detailed programme of courses.
Training costs are at the expense of the company and amount to €10,100 per year (2024/2025).
