ESMA’S BUSINESS PARTNER NETWORK
Our relationships with professionals in the creative industries are crucial to ESMA’s development strategy and play a key role in the professional immersion of our students.
Staying in touch with their needs, understanding the challenges they face and knowing their expectations when it comes to recruitment are all priorities for us.
This strategy also allows us to provide our students with up-to-date pedagogical content and the tools that align with current business practices.
Helping them confront their future professional reality and the networking opportunities inherent to it is essential for the future of our students.
A UNIQUE OPPORTUNITY FOR STUDENTS
ESMA’s business partner network is a great opportunity for students looking for internships or jobs.
The numerous events organized in each of our schools provide them with the opportunity to make valuable contacts.
Graduation juries, open days, conferences, workshops, recruitment days, masterclasses, and many other events offer our students valuable insights into the professional world.
They also have the opportunity to present their projects to recruiters, and lay the foundations for their professional careers.
