Apprentices: cheap labor or an investment?

Hygiene & Regulation 6 min read 10 novembre 2025

Apprenticeship Contract: 16 to 29 years old. Rotation CFA / Company.

Cost: The salary is % of the minimum wage depending on age (e.g., 43% for 18-20 year olds). The state’s one-time aid (6000€ in the first year) covers almost the entire salary for minors.

Apprenticeship: Mandatory. He must have a diploma or experience. He can only supervise a maximum of 2 apprentices.

An apprentice is there to LEARN. They are not a cheap helper. They have hours of lessons, they cannot do overtime without limits, and they are protected (contract termination difficult after 45 days).

This is the best way to train your future party leaders to your methods.
