The members of the Associations Office, responsible for association life at ISTEC, provide first-year students with around forty hours of lessons and guidance in implementing an “association project”. In this way, they jointly create an association of use to everyone in the school (project management, creation of a budget, studying association laws).
Personal testimony
Charles DAVOINE – 1st year
By joining the Bachelor’s degree programme, I have been able to acquire an in-depth knowledge of commercial methodologies, techniques and practices through theoretical classes and regular situational simulations. Different working groups have given us valuable lessons about working in a team and in a company. Associations, which are a big part of life at ISTEC, allow us to participate in many events outside of class, which is very rewarding from a human relations and professional point of view.
The network of partner companies and ISTEC graduates has also been very useful to me: after having taking part in the “speed-dating” style job interviews and rubbing shoulders with partner companies at different school events, I found my future employer for my block release period in second year: I am starting a post as a sales assistant in an aeronautics company.
