APPRENTICESHIP
Schedule
WHAT IS THE APPRENTICE’S STATUS IN THE COMPANY ?
An apprentice is an employee of his or her company and therefore under its responsibility, via the apprenticeship supervisor. (S)he must carry out the tasks given. Throughout the 3 years of training, under the guidance of the supervisor, the apprentice will address specific tasks, build experience and gradually extend his/her responsibility within the company.
The in-company supervisor decides when and how to allocate these responsibilities. The tasks to be given to the apprentice and the relevant skills are listed in detail at the start of each semester. At the end of each semester, the supervisor returns a qualitative assessment of the apprentice’s capacities.

PERSONAL EXPERIENCE
Jérôme HAUCK
Promotion 2011
I did a technical degree in Wood and Furniture Applications at ENSTIB, with block release to the company Bieber Bois in Walhambach, which specializes in exterior carpentry. On my graduation in 2011, I was hired on an open-ended contract in their design department where I immediately realized how useful my training at ENSTIB would be.

I do computer–aided design and searching for machining solutions every day here. I still work for Bieber Bois, but I’ve also set up my own carpentry and interior fittings company.
