Sandwich- Course in Higher Education and Entrepreneurship Awareness: Case of the Graduates from University Apprenticeship Training Centre, Corsica
Long limited to level V and VI courses, often intended for students who failed academically, sandwich courses radically tarnish this typical image and gradually gain ground in higher education. Increasing the average graduation rate, ensuring a better vocational integration, this training system has proven to be a path to excellence and a pathway to employment. Sandwich courses in higher education seems to stay the course in a gloomy social and economic context, especially among young graduates. Such a situation is first due to learning reasons (graduation rate, promotion majors…), but ultimately, sandwich courses pull out of the game in the workforce market by potentiating concurrently occupational integration, graduates’ employability and entrepreneurship awareness. CFA Univ Corsica, a regional leader in sandwich courses after completion of secondary studies (60% of students in Corsica), is the structuring player in the island economy insofar as almost 8000 island companies will have to be sold within the next 10 years.
