Internships: at the heart of our curriculum
Hiring an intern is an excellent way to assess a student's potential and gives you a better chance of understanding the abilities of our candidates, be they Masters Graduates or MBAs, through the work they carry out on projects or missions in your organization. Given the variety of programs, you are sure to find a candidate at any time of the year.
Interns bring energy to your teams. They also act as ambassadors for your company on campus. If given the responsibility to work on a meaningful project, interns will contribute to achieving your objectives and successfully running your organization..
You can submit your internship opportunities online or take advantage of our career events and workshops to recruit interns face-to-face. Our annual internship presentations take place in February and March for MBA and Masters students respectively, with our partner companies benefiting from special access.
The Grande École internships (Master in Management)

1. Summer internships (from June to August)
2. Long internships of 2 six-month assignments, during the optional professional placement year
