As part of the partnership between the Châlons-en-Champagne campus and Lebronze alloys, students from the campus recently visited the production site in Suippes.
"Welcoming students for internships and work-study programs is essential for projects that require brainpower," emphasizes Valérie Creste, Human Resources Director at Lebronze alloys. " We are also considering long-term hiring, of course, especially since we are in high-demand professions."
Lebronze alloys has been working with the Châlons-en-Champagne campus since 2023 to strengthen its employer brand. "It is important for us to make ourselves known and recognized in the region, and this involves participating in events organized by the campus," adds Valérie Creste. This partnership also helps to strengthen the company's presence in the region.
A partnership that strengthens ties between industry and higher education
Lebronze alloys and the Châlons-en-Champagne campus renewed their partnership last September for three years. This partnership offers students opportunities such as internships, work-study programs, and job prospects, thereby strengthening ties between industry and higher education.
An enriching visit for students
The Suippes site plays an important role within the group, specializing in the production of semi-finished and finished products made from high-performance copper and nickel alloys. During the visit, which took place in early March, the students learned about the different stages of production and the technologies used.
The afternoon began with a presentation of the company, followed by a tour of the workshops. The students also met Arthur Warjas (site director), Maxime Hoche (production manager), and Jérémy Germain (technical manager), who shared their vision on innovation in the production of these alloys.
This visit gave students the opportunity to discover the realities of the industrial sector and broaden their professional horizons.
"The friendly and knowledgeable staff answered all our questions and explained how the machines work, the size of which impressed me," explains Audrey Lozingot, a first-year student in the Grande École Program. I was also able to deepen my knowledge of copper alloys and their applications, and more generally of machining and foundry work. I highly recommend this experience! It's a unique opportunity to explore how a company operates."
Victor Lebegue, a second-year student in the Bachelor of Technology program, shares this opinion: "We were able to talk with the speakers to better understand how the company works. I discovered the products manufactured by Lebronze Alloys and their transformation process. I saw how they are used in industry in practice. This experience also made me want to apply for an internship with them. I recommend this visit to all students who are curious to discover the industrial sector."
