Business forum: 40 companies at the EPF to meet with our students
On Thursday, October 15th, EPF hosted on its campus of Sceaux nearly 40 companies during its 25th “Business Forum”. After 2 conferences in the morning about jobs abroad and the "Generation Z", students had the opportunity to participate in resume-writing workshops, meet recruiters for job interviews, exchange with graduated students, develop their network and take pictures “like the pros”!
THE “BEFORE”
The morning was dedicated to the "BEFORE”. Students were able to attend to two conferences from Alstom (global leader in the world of power generation, power transmission and rail infrastructure) and BlaBlaCar (the world's largest long-distance ridesharing community).

He advised students looking for an internship abroad to be "motivated, open-minded and to think about start-ups".

Generation Z, or Generation 4C: Communication, Collaboration, Creativity and Connectivity, who will be the next generation to enter the world of work. Albane Giraud-Charreyron explained that "each person will be the entrepreneur of his professional life and his training."
