Can the student work? Under what major restrictions? What is the family position where clearly stated?

The checked official sources did not provide enough route-specific evidence to confirm whether the student may work, the main restrictions and the family position.

How long does the status last, how is it renewed, and what officially documented post-study work or residence possibilities exist?

The residence permit is valid for six months, for the duration of the training programme plus three months if shorter than six months, or for two years for long-term traineeships, and in that case may be renewed once for the remaining period of the training programme. The official source does not state post-study work or residence options.
