Real-world training : Internships

Personal skills internship

Ranging from one to two months, the personal skills internship is carried out at the end of the 1st year. Whether in France or abroad, students choose from a wide range of organizations, from start-ups to humanitarian groups, from major corporations to international and public organizations. The aim is to give students the chance to participate in an organization in a non-management position and observe how it works.
