IPAC has long been committed to promoting and implementing work-study programmes. Its campuses have been privileged partners of the Institut de Formation par Alternance (IFA des Alpes) since 2019 — an interprofessional CFA created on the initiative of MEDEF, CPME, CCI and CMA, whose mission is to develop apprenticeship in close partnership with high schools and public and private establishments within the framework of apprenticeship training units (UFA).
