ISIMA has opened its apprenticeship program since the start of the September 2022 academic year
The objective of this curriculum is to train, through apprenticeship, engineers in Computer Science. The degree is the same as that obtained under student status.
The Training
The training is comprehensive in computer science. An ISIMA engineer should be able to manage or integrate into IT projects, model, design, and implement solutions, and communicate with all stakeholders. The training program covers major themes such as software development, computer security, web development, internet of things, cloud computing, artificial intelligence, operational research, information system architecture, networks, databases, mobile programming, etc.
Social and environmental responsibility, English, economics, law, communication, project management are also part of the curriculum.
The pedagogy is based on a competency-based approach with sequences of learning and evaluation situations.
Duration – Schedule:
The program lasts for 3 years (from September 2024 to September 2027 for the next intake), from bachelor’s degree +3 to master’s degree +5, and the alternating rhythm is generally 4 weeks at ISIMA / 4 weeks in a company. This alternating rhythm allows companies geographically distant from Auvergne to receive and train an ISIMA apprentice.

International:
An international experience (minimum 9 weeks, recommended 12) is mandatory to obtain the ISIMA Engineer Diploma, following the requirements of the Commission des Titres d’Ingénieur.
Monitoring – Tutoring:
The apprentice is supervised by a master in the company and a teaching tutor chosen from the ISIMA teaching team. A dematerialized apprentice booklet and periodic meetings allow for appropriate monitoring.
Apprenticeship
Apprenticeship is a system of alternating training, combining periods in the company and periods in a training institution. It allows the apprentice to obtain a professional qualification sanctioned by a national diploma or a title with a professional purpose and to receive practical training within the company.
Alongside employees, the apprentice learns a profession and techniques while also discovering the company’s culture and work habits.
All sectors and companies are affected by digital technology.
Sectors of activity: IT service companies, software publishers, industry, computer manufacturers, consulting/security, telecommunications, banking, aerospace, public administration, research, audiovisual, health, etc.
Types of jobs: Developer, IT architect, consultant, auditor, IT project manager, studies engineer, system and security engineer, network engineer, research and development engineer, etc.
The benefits of apprenticeship for apprentices
A regular salary, even during school periods, housing assistance (Mobili-jeunes, Loca Pass, APL…)
Activity bonus (if eligible), student card for trades, assistance with financing a driver’s license
Social protection (sickness, maternity, paternity, retirement), company health insurance
Unemployment insurance, retirement (apprenticeship years count as full years)
A first professional experience, obtaining a diploma or qualification, applying what is learned during training periods
Building a professional network
Remuneration
The legal minimum set by law (private sector) depends on the apprentice’s age, the level of diploma prepared, and progress in the training cycle.
A simulator is available at this address https://www.alternance.emploi.gouv.fr.
The trial period is 45 days of presence in the company (consecutive or not). During this period, either party can unilaterally terminate the contract, respecting a notice period.
