Every year, AMSE organizes its Career Day, a flagship event for the school and a unique opportunity for students to shape their professional future.
A SPRINGBOARD FOR STUDENTS
Career Day provides students with a valuable opportunity to meet professionals from the fields they want to enter. These interactions help students build a solid network—essential for securing internships, apprentice-ships, or jobs. «When you’re a student, it’s crucial to connect with professionals as early as possible. It helps you design your career plan and discover roles in your desired field,» explains Audrey Triyeh, a 2021 graduate of the Wealth Management track and a Private banker for managing shareholders at BNP Paribas.
In addition to networking, practical workshops; such as CV and LinkedIn profile optimization, equip students with the tools needed to meet job market expectations.
A BRIDGE BETWEEN UNIVERSITY AND BUSINESS
For companies, Career Day serves as a prime opportunity to identify new talent and better understand the diversity of profiles coming out of AMSE. The event also showcases the school’s alignment with industry demands and evolving professions. «Participating in the Career Day was a unique chance to spotlight careers in the civil service, which are often underrepresented, and to show how the skills acquired at AMSE can ad-dress today’s major challenges,» emphasizes Axelle Renaud, a 2024 graduate of the Economic Policy Analysis track and European Project Manager with the Ville de Marseille.
Additionally, the event strengthens partnerships between the school and businesses, bolstering AMSE’s appeal and credibility among recruiters.
INSPIRING GRADUATES
The alumni network plays a key role at Career Day. Former students share their experience, offering guidance and inspiration to future professionals. «As a student, transitioning from university to the workplace can feel overwhelming. Our stories help guide students by highlighting the strategies they can use to succeed while reassuring recruiters about the quality of AMSE graduates,» explains Baptiste Waignon, a 2024 graduate of the Financial Risk Management track and Risk Management Officer at Baloise in Luxembourg.
This transfer of knowledge and such commitment from the alumni show their loyalty to the school and make a valuable contribution to its reputation.
