Professional integration

The aim of this course is to train students in recruitment techniques, taking into account the formal requirements of the professional world. The aim is not only to prepare engineering students for successful professional integration, but also to help them develop their "career orientation skills".
In the first stage, the lecturer provides a number of rules, points of reference and practical advice on what companies expect, recruitment techniques and how to draw up a professional project. Secondly, knowledge is transformed into "know-how" through thematic workshop sessions (skills assessment, simulated interviews, skills enhancement), enabling engineering students to learn about the structure and stakes of a recruitment interview and the expectations of the various parties involved, as well as to practice job interviews.
To put these exercises into practice, each student conducts a mock interview with a panel of judges made up of representatives from the scientific and technical side (a former graduate and/or a teacher-researcher) and representatives from the human resources side (training organizations or working professionals). This simulation also represents the culmination of a process of reflection on their professional project, and gives rise to individualized feedback encouraging students to rework their weak points and leading them to autonomy in communicating and constructing their professional project.
