Assistance in finding an internship, work-study program, first job, etc

The CareerLab program: 

+ 1000h hours of classes per year dedicated to the “Make Sense” module
+ 18 expert speakers in the field of recruitment
More than 800 students assisted per year in 2 languages (French and English)
1 mentor per student for individual support

Focus on the “Make Sense” module

The “Make Sense” module proposes a pedagogical approach which involves a three-dimensional “Learning / Doing / Checking” strategy so that students can familiarize themselves with a range of methods, tools, and pedagogical knowledge that they can use for themselves.

The workshops are available in French and English and are led by a team of speakers selected by the CareerLab (between 10 and 12 people). These HR experts share their knowledge and insight into the job market and offer workshops on key themes:

• Personal development (self-awareness),
• Building a professional project,
• Research methods and interview preparation.

Corporate Relations & CareerLab, a winning duo

The combined activities of the CareerLab Unit and the Corporate Relations Department have made it possible for the ESC’s corporate partners to source their future employees, and accommodate the needs, expectations, and values of both parties: the company and the candidate.

Working directly with the ESC students and business managers has facilitated “matching” companies with potential candidates, based on the know-how, soft skills and specific abilities identified during workshops and individual coaching sessions.

Throughout the year, several events are organized to bring together students and partner companies:

CareerDays, competitions, business cases, company forums,.. The CareerLab workshops, coupled with events organized by the Corporate Relations Department, enable companies to meet their future employees in real life during simulated interviews or job-related workshops.

These events give students the opportunity to meet professionals, discover new sectors and seize great opportunities. Reciprocally, these events allow the professionals present to identify future talent and promote their employer brand!
