According to INSEE, nearly a fifth of net job creations over the past year are due to apprenticeships.

Accessible to young people aged 16 to 29, apprenticeship is based on the principle of alternating between theoretical education and vocational training with the employer with whom the apprentice has signed his contract.

Its growth is explained both by the 2018 reform (which notably liberalized the opening of training centers and extended apprenticeship to 26-29 year olds) and by hiring bonuses.

This very strong growth since 2018 has been brought to 75% by training courses at bac +2 level or more, according to the Ministry of Labor.

Higher education training can indeed be eligible for this hiring bonus, which was not the case before the Covid crisis.
