Selection procedure
Carrying out mobility in Europe or internationally provides the opportunity:
-to discover another culture and another way of working.
-improve your linguistic and cultural skills in a work situation.
-enrich your professional practices by discovering tools and techniques specific to the host country.
International mobility is a very rewarding professional experience. This brings a real asset to a candidate who can make the difference for hiring.
During the period of mobility abroad, the principle of work-study inherent to the contract no longer applies. Students are not required to alternate teaching and periods of in-company training, so that they can only carry out in-company training or only teaching in a training organization during their stay abroad.
