Helping students prepare their career plan

The aim of this course is to help students define and implement their career plan. It begins with a special week, in the first year of the engineering course, organized with the help of former students and professional bodies who prepare a review of the market, showing how careers are changing and providing a few keys to help students define their career plan. In addition to general conferences on recruitment and the stages in this process (CV, accompanying letter, specialized sites, interviews, etc.), the career paths of alumni are very enriching for students who can discover the different facets of their seniors' work in very varied environments. On this occasion they also meet former students who have chosen to start-up their own companies or to work for themselves.
