France's apprenticeship (apprentissage) system extends to higher education levels including BTS (Brevet de Technicien Supérieur), Bachelor Pro, and Master-level qualifications. Under the 2018 apprenticeship reform, companies can hire apprentices for degrees up to Master level. Apprentices work 3-4 days per week and attend school 1-2 days, earning a salary. Major French companies including PSA Group, L'Oréal, TotalEnergies, and Société Générale offer higher apprenticeship contracts.
