Apprenticeship-degree is an open-ended employment contract aimed at training and employing young people. It is a “mixed contract” whereby the employer is required to provide the trainee remuneration for the work performed as well as professional training. In return for this commitment, companies can take advantage of  tax benefits and flexible remuneration management.   

Introduced by Law no. 25/1955, study-internship contracts have undergone various changes over the years. Currently, they are governed under Legislative Decree no. 167/2011 “Consolidated Law on Study-Internship.”
