Outline of Final Research Achievements

First, the Contrat d'apprentissage (Contract for Apprenticeship), the main component of the education system, has been dominated by contractors at the secondary education level, but by 2020, contractors at the higher education level will account for the majority of contractors, indicating that there has been significant development in higher education in recent years. This clearly demonstrates the significant development of Alternans education in higher education in recent years.
Second, with regard to the 2018 legal amendment that may be considered as a contributing factor to this new trend, it was evident that this amendment, among other things, takes into account the circumstances of young people and reduces the institutional rigidity in the previous apprenticeship contracts.
