Internships, challenges, missions and interventions by professionals

Internships 

Gain professional experience with the many internships opportunities offered during your course. Use the skills developed at the School and put them into practice in a professional context.

In France or abroad, internships allow you to discover the business world at the beginning of your course, then to orientate yourself towards your preferred field while learning to respond to different problems given by companies.

Confront your professional ambitions with the reality of the field with your end-of-studies internship, play a key role within a company and develop essential field experience to best prepare your future. 

Assignments

Respond as a team to a real problem entrusted by a company director or executive. For several weeks, reflect on the subject and propose your recommendations to the company in the form of a presentation to a panel of professionals.

In this context, you will benefit from methodological tutoring sessions led by the School's professors: work methodology, keys to reflection, etc.

The themes of the assignments offered vary according to your programme: market research, economic intelligence, business creation, logistics, human resources, marketing development, financial or strategic analysis.

More than 1,500 business consulting assignments have already been carried out by the School's students.
