Recruiting our students

Hands-on experience via a series of professional internships in France and, increasingly, abroad, is fundamental to students’ development.

2 000 students from diverse programmes spend from 2 to 25 months in a company, thanks to 3 training periods:

Understanding the company (July-August)

6 to 8 weeks to become familiar with the company and an executive position through operational or functional responsibilities.

Some examples of recent internships: Assistant to Marketing-Communication department (BMW Group), Sales survey for L’Oreal, In charge of a department(IKEA), Credit analysis for various banks (HSBC), BNP Paribas, etc.

Professional management training (January to December)

Students have to conduct a significant professional experience for a year in a company to reinforce personal and professional competencies and to determine their professional career path.

Some examples of recent internships: Auditor Junior, Assistant Auditor (KPMG, Deloitte, PWC), Buyer (transport department, Valeo), Account Officer (Calyon), Assistant Sales Manager (Ford)

Executive placement (Throughout the year)

During 4 to 6 months students are in a position of responsibility related to a professional career objective. This internship takes place after their major and often may lead to a first position.

Some examples of recent internships: Junior Consultant (Ernst and Young), Assistant Product Manager (Johnson & Jonhson, Henkel), Assistant Manager EADS (Fujitsu, Siemens), Management Control Assistant (Alcatel)

Testimonies

Manuela Bernard, Fujitsu Siemens Computers, Germany
The students’ independent way of working, their reliability and amazing professionalism convince me again and again. In addition, the young people always demonstrate self-initiative as well as a usually high degree of mental maturity.

Benoît Jeannot, Microsoft Asia Pacific, Singapore
The students from Audencia Nantes who have been joining our sales, marketing or finance teams for long-term internships have always been excellent contributors for supporting the business thanks to their strong academic skills, positive attitude and creative ideas. After graduation, some of them have had the opportunity to rejoin us on full time positions within our teams.
