Some examples of professions

As recent graduates, you are often inserted into the management of a project. Working alone or as part of a team, you provide analyses or propose actions to achieve a given objective, within a set timeframe, with available resources or whose mobilization you organize. Your excellent analytical skills, your sense of communication, your knowledge of foreign languages, your international outlook and above all your desire to learn are also important assets for many professions.

Commerce and distribution

Negotiating, obtaining the best prices, prospecting for new suppliers, monitoring the development of new packaging, optimizing the routing of products to customers... so many missions with responsibilities relating to sales and distribution. Alongside strictly sales-oriented companies such as supermarkets, industries and certain service companies also offer numerous career opportunities in purchasing, marketing and logistics.

Business management

In the industrial world, our graduates take part in all stages of the supply chain : they plan production, arbitrate disputes between salespeople and producers, manage inventories, organize the transportation of goods, etc.

Others exercise their skills in the IT department, for example as part of the implementation of integrated company management software.

Some join the human resources departments and do recruitment, calculate payroll costs, set up skills management tools or a training policy, etc.

After a few years in operational roles, the careers of management academics frequently evolve towards management positions, where they participate in the company's strategic decisions.

Consultancy firms, which specialize in advising companies, place their expertise and technical and human resources at the service of their clients, for example in the field of strategy or the evaluation of internal processes. Many young graduates start their professional careers here.

Finally, entrepreneurship will enable the most daring to build on the solid, multi-disciplinary foundations of their training to set up their own company.
