The assistance of the ESSEC Corporate / Student Relations Service is a precious asset for ESSEC MBA students: they find internships more easily thanks to workshops and privileged contacts, they may finance part of their studies through apprenticeship, or set up their own business with the help of ESSEC Ventures… There are many possibilities!

Internships and assignments last a minimum of three months and a maximum of 12 months in the same firm, in France or abroad, in any sector or function.

Internships begin at the end of the initial period and last at least six months. They can also begin at any start of term during the MBA period.

Faced with rising demand from firms, the Apprenticeship Training Center (Centre de Formation des Apprentis - CFA) created in 1993 facilitates the integration of ESSSEC MBA students in professional life: 3000 students and 700 companies have participated to date. This program offers students the chance to do all or part of their academic program within the "Apprentissage" Track (apprenticeship) option. This option creates synergy between the academic milieu and the professional world

Over 8 000 offers of internships, apprenticeships and civil service assignments and about 6000 job offers are accessible to students from their dedicated portal.

The ESSEC Ventures, the ESSEC MBA’s incubator, encourages and supervises company start-ups through a process including courses, selection and methodological accompaniment for the projects chosen.

A long or short-term work contract (full or part-time) can also be validated at the end of the curriculum, following validation of 12 months of internships or an apprenticeship.
