Internships and work-study programs at ESCE

At ESCE, professional experience is at the heart of our pedagogy, with a wide range of internship and work-study opportunities. Our aim is to enable our students to learn more about themselves, explore the business world and understand the economic environment, both international and French. These professional experiences enable them to acquire concrete skills and integrate into stimulating career paths, while benefiting from a solid academic training.

ESCE internships

AN INTERNATIONAL DIMENSION

True to its vocation, ESCE makes a point of promoting internships abroad for its students. Even when these internships take place in France, they must include an international dimension, whether in terms of the nature of the assignments or the work environment.

These experiences are designed to enable students to better understand and adapt to different cultural practices, ways of thinking and organizational structures in different countries. In addition to reinforcing their professional expertise, these internships are an ideal opportunity to make progress in foreign languages and enrich their specialized professional vocabulary.

A springboard for building your career path

Internships, which are an integral part of the Grande École Program and theInternational Bachelor program, play a key role in the development of each student’s professional project. These experiences provide an ideal framework for :

• Apply theoretical knowledge acquired in class,
• Develop practical skills,
• Explore different sectors and professions, to better define their career aspirations.

The ultimate goal is clear: to give students all the keys they need to enter the sector and position of their dreams as soon as they graduate from ESCE. Whether to gain practical experience in an international environment or to hone their ambitions, internships are an essential step in our students’ careers.
