Participate in the training of a future employee
Work-study programs are a great way for companies to get the most out of both worlds. They can hire a new employee and have them participate in training. This is a win-win situation for the company and the new apprentice, a student in training.
This rhythm is beneficial for companies because they can hire a student during his or her studies and model him or her to their corporate culture. At the end of the training, the learner is 100% effective and efficient, directly operational, ready to seize the professional opportunities that come his way. The work-study program is often perceived by employers as a pre-hiring period.
The pace, methods and cost of work-study programs vary from school to school and campus to campus. Do not hesitate to contact the school of your choice for more information.
