The advantages of work-linked study

Easier integration into the world of work
Thanks to your in-company experience and theoretical training, you'll be up and running quickly and attractive to employers.

Remuneration during your studies
As a work-study student, you will receive a salary based on your age and level of study. This pay enables you to finance your studies and gain financial independence.

Creating a professional network
Work-linked training enables you to develop a network of professional contacts, a major asset for your future job search or career development. You will be in direct contact with players in your sector of activity.

Recognised professional experience
As part of a work-linked training scheme, you can apply your knowledge directly in the workplace. You'll gain significant experience that will set you apart in the eyes of recruiters.

Free registration fees
On work-linked courses, the tuition fees are often paid by the company, which considerably reduces the cost of your studies.

How do work-linked studies work?

At the University of Guyana, work-linked studies follow a clearly defined rhythm that varies according to the course. Generally, you alternate between periods at university and periods in a company. For example, you can spend one week in the company and then one week in the classroom, or three days in the company and two days at university each week. This model allows you to :

Apply theoretical knowledge immediately
Each work placement is an opportunity to put into practice what you have learned in the classroom.

Follow a tailored programme
Our courses are designed to meet the needs of local businesses and the realities of the job market.

Benefit from personalised support
At the Université de Guyane, we'll be with you every step of the way. Our teaching teams and careers advisors are there to help you make a success of your project.

Procedure for handling work-linked training contracts

Stage 1 - Admission to the course

  1. Students must check that they have received a favourable opinion from the Admissions Committee online via e-candidat.

If the student is admitted subject to obtaining the previous diploma, he or she must wait for the results of that same diploma.

Stage 2 - Validation of the job description

  1. The employer/host company must send the job description to the training manager for approval.

The work-study contract cannot be issued without written validation of the job description.

Stage 3 - Completing the information form

  1. The student must download the information form (Contrat d'alternance or Contrat de professionnalisation or Contrat Pro-A). This form must be completed, dated, signed and stamped by the employer and the student. It should then be sent to the following address:

assist-relationsentreprises.iut@univ-guyane.fr

  1. Students must also complete the online form from the information sheet.

Stage 4 - Drafting the work-study contract and agreement

  1. Once the information sheet has been checked against the online form, the work-study contract and agreement will be drawn up and sent to the employer and student for signature.

If either document is missing or contains an error, the student will be asked to make the necessary corrections. If necessary, they may contact the employer.

The employer signs and stamps the contract and the agreement. The student signs only the contract.

  1. These two documents must be stamped and signed and returned to the CFA - DFPU management for signature.

The student cannot start working for the employer until the contract has been finalised and signed by all three parties.

  1. Once the contract and agreement have been signed by the University of French Guyana, they are sent by email to the employer and the student.
PLEASE NOTE: There is a minimum processing time of 10 days. We would be grateful if you could take this into account when processing your application (the time between the date on which the completed and signed form is validated and the date on which the contract begins).
