The academic year has started and you have not found a company yet? Do not give up: you can still continue your search.Depending on the start date of your programme, you may still have several weeks to sign an apprenticeship contract. Now is the time to increase your applications and, above all, make your profile visible to recruiters.⏳ How long do you have to sign a contract?If a student begins an apprenticeship training programme without having found an employer yet, French regulations allow up to 3 months after the start of the training programme to sign an apprenticeship contract.👉 For example: if your programme started on 1 September, you may in principle sign a contract until 1 December.📅 Important: your exact deadline depends on the start date of your own programme. Do not wait until the last minute: contact your programme coordinator or CFA to confirm the exact date that applies to you.👀 Make yourself visible to recruitersYour search does not depend only on the vacancies you apply for.
