Engineers of Tomorrow Forum | Cultivating your employability

FIA 2024
Company

The 15th edition of the Engineers of Tomorrow Forum will take place on the Aix-en-Provence campus on Thursday, February 15, 2024. This event is organized by students, with the support of the campus's Corporate Relations Office.

Because every career begins with a meeting, the "Ingénieurs avenir" forum offers a prime opportunity for engineering students in the Grande Ecole Engineering Programme and the Specialized Engineering Program.

With just a few years to go before graduation, it is important for students to define a clear career path. This Forum is a unique opportunity to discover the major players in the industry, to develop an initial draft or to reinforce career choices.

Different student profiles benefit from this event. Some are looking for their first contact with companies, while others are seeking a more in-depth exchange. In particular, it enablesengineering students to find internships and develop essential skills such as talking about themselves and their projects in a professional context. Today, the added value of an engineer is also demonstrated by their ability to build interpersonal relationships.

This is therefore a unique opportunity to engage with 27 companies (large groups and SMEs in the region) from a variety of sectors: transport, construction, consulting, energy, and business services, including La Marine Nationale, Pellenc ST, Aptiskills, Arkadia, Assystem, Capgemini, Foselev, ALTEN, ATR Ingénierie, Thales, Dassault System, Ortec, ONET Technologies, VINCI Energies, CEA, Veolia, TechnicAtome, EDF, Orano, Eiffage Energie, Groupe SNEF, Naval Group, Airbus Helicopters, Freyssinet, CMA CGM, STMicroelectronics, and VINCI Construction.

For the organizing team, this is both an organizational and financial challenge to maintain the strong ties that students have with companies.
