Since 2002, CAWEB has maintained close relationships with professionals and companies in various fields so that our students can combine theory with practice in a hands-on way. If you’re looking to share your expertise with our students or recruit one for your company, become a CAWEB partner!
How can I become a CAWEB partner?
As a professional or as a company, you can:
- Become an instructor, through distance-learning or on-campus in Strasbourg, and share your skills and professional expertise with our students
- If you’re a company in France, hire our students as apprentices or interns or pay your apprenticeship tax directly to the program
- If you’re a company outside of France, hire our students to work as interns in your country or remotely

What is the apprenticeship tax?
What is the apprenticeship tax?
It is composed of two parts:
- 87% is collected to finance apprenticeships
- 13% is paid towards the development of training courses such as the CAWEB master’s.
By directing your apprentissage tax to the CAWEB master’s degree, your company can directly contribute to the success of our students.
This funding allows us to buy multimedia equipment and the latest versions of software for all our students, as well as to fund the salaries of our external instructors.
How can I pay my company’s apprenticeship tax directly to CAWEB?
You can now pay the 13% of the apprenticeship tax earmarked for training courses directly to an authorized educational establishment, without going through an intermediary, as long as you pay it before June 1st of the year that it is due.
The University of Strasbourg has set up an application that allows companies to declare their intention to contribute their apprenticeship tax to the university and to pay it entirely online. This tool is available at: taxe-apprentissage.unistra.fr.
Here are the steps to follow if you wish to designate your company’s apprenticeship tax to the CAWEB master’s program:
- Step 1: Complete the online form (link below) and enter your contact information.
- Step 2: Identify the institution(s) that you want your fee to be directed to. For the CAWEB master’s, please indicate the code 0673095A – Faculty of Languages.
- Step 3: Select your payment method (credit card, bank transfer, or check) and follow the instructions
- Step 4: Inform the administrative manager, Mr. Etienne Guidat (eguidat@unistra.fr) and the director Dr. Renate de la Paix (delapaix@unistra.fr) of your intention to pay your tax to the CAWEB master’s, unless you wish the amount to be distributed among all the Faculty of Languages’ programs.
The tax receipt (proof of your payment) will be sent to you at the end of the month following your payment.
