Every year, almost 40% of ESTIA engineering students opt for a work-linked apprenticeship contract to complete their studies.
While the majority of students choose apprenticeships from the start of the engineering cycle, for 3 years, others decide in the penultimate year (for a 2-year contract) or in the final year (for a 1-year contract).
