Work-study and Apprenticeship Programs – Building for the Future

Working with the French IT federation Syntec, Atos Origin has been an industry pioneer in offering apprenticeship and work-study programs.

In 2009, Atos Origin will offer 200 contracts for apprenticeship and work-study programs. The contracts usually last six to nine months for work-study programs and two years for apprenticeships.

While they are mainly offered to candidates preparing a bachelor’s or master’s degree in IT, they may also be used for support functions such as secretarial services, HR and finance. These programs provide an opportunity for students to emerge themselves in real-world projects, adapt their classroom lessons to company needs and get a real taste of working life.
