Apprenticeship tax

The apprenticeship tax is divided into two parts:

• the first part is earmarked for financing apprenticeships, and amounts to 87%
• the second part is earmarked for financing technological and vocational training. It represents 13% of the total apprenticeship tax, and is intended to be used by the employer to pay off expenses. École nationale des ponts et chaussées is eligible for this funding.
