the career center and internships
Internships with an international dimension
Due to its vocation, the ESCE favors internships abroad.
All internships must have an international dimension, even those carried out in France.
It is fundamental to understand and apprehend the different practices, ways of thinking and organizations depending on the country.
These courses are also an excellent lever for progressing in languages and acquiring a very specific vocabulary.
Thus 90% of internships at ESCE are in a language other than French.
Internships to build your professional career
Whether as part of the Grande École Program or the International Bachelor, internship periods are very important for students and the construction of their professional project.
