What is a traineeship?

The purpose of a traineeship is for the employee to obtain practice in the professional field appropriate to the level of their completed studies, enabling them to acquire work experience and to enrich their studies on the basis of that experience.

It is not only a question of gaining experience in a particular job, but also of ensuring that that experience is relevant to the studies undertaken.
