During the JOB FAIRS organised at the ¾ÅÉ«ÊÓÆµ, you will be able to meet company professionals through talks around a variety of themes.

These JOB FAIRS help you to project yourself into the future and get a grasp of the professional opportunities that exist in each sector of activity. In short, they are intended to facilitate your choice of orientation.

Regular meetings with recruiters

All year round, you have the opportunity to meet many recruiters during ¾ÅÉ«ÊÓÆµ Career Days held by the Career Center teams. These are all opportunities for you to meet companies seeking talented people. An internship in a start-up, a work-study program in a large group or your first job in a dynamic SME... Each year, many students are recruited after an initial contact established during this type of event.

A strong alumni community

Our network now brings together nearly 14 000 alumni around the world. It is animated by a dedicated Alumni Department within  the school and can play a decisive role in your career. As soon as you join the school, you become part of the ¾ÅÉ«ÊÓÆµ Alumni social network and access the precious directory of ipagians.
