STUDENT LIFE
Training for Group School of Life
The holding of positions of responsibility within student associations and groups contributes to the overall education.
The trainee-engineer learns in lecture halls, in companies during internships, but also through student associations: these bring dynamic energy to school life and are tangible signs of the good collaborative atmosphere that exists in the schools.
Student opinions :
I learned about negotiation, management and accounting and improved in two areas: peer relationships and overall appreciation of a situation.
A unique “people” experience as well as communication and organization which I still benefit from today.
To head an association broadened my outlook on the school and its mission and encouraged me to become more turned towards others.
I was able to develop my sense of initiative and became more open-minded….I learned that one must give oneself the human means to bring a project to fruition.
The main things I learned? How to listen and to delegate.
Some of the present associations
Other than the traditional associations (students association, sports associations and Junior Enterprise) each school has about 10 other associations such as :
