Professional Support for Students: a unique program to shape the engineers of tomorrow
Far from being a simple mentoring program, Professional Student Support (APE) is a truly immersive experience that helps engineering students prepare for the challenges of the professional world.
Designed to refine their approach, enrich their network, and hone their skills, this program mobilizes nine educational leaders and more than 240 professionals throughout the year. Group workshops, individual interviews, forums, and conferences punctuate their journey and provide them with concrete tools to build their future.
