Support from the ICD Business School in your professionalization

ICD BUSINESS SCHOOL SUPPORT SERVICES

Because each student is unique, the ICD has set up an individual monitoring system to support you in your project in an optimal way. To do this, our Business and Career Relations Department organizes regular updates with you starting from the first year and shares valuable advice with you to find out which companies to approach, in order to be in line with your project. The team is thus by your side in the management of your career throughout your course. Anaïs Reymondon, head of the Corporate Relations Department, explains that “employability and access to the job market are major concerns for the school. These are quality and performance indicators for the institution”.

In addition, you benefit from a course dedicated to finding an internship or a work-study program, the "Start me up Career", supervised by coaches from the business world. This system provides 144 hours of teaching hours for this research, of which 54 hours are devoted, in the first year, to the professional project (with CV and cover letter writing workshops, internship search techniques, preparation for interviews, etc.) . In the Master's cycle, 90 hours are dedicated to finding an internship or work-study program, meeting jobs, developing personal skills (soft skills), as well as personal branding.

And our support is not limited to your mere presence within the school! The internship and the work-study program represent a three-way relationship between you, the company and the school. This is why we also provide a follow-up of the company to ensure that the missions entrusted to you fully correspond to your project, so that you can flourish professionally. For this, the teaching team remains in contact with you, but also with your company.

THE TOOLS AT YOUR DISPOSAL

Beyond the support offered by the ICD Business School team, you also have many tools at your disposal to help you in your business search.

Thus, you have access to an online toolbox that includes a wide range of advice to help you get an internship or work-study. In addition, the Business Relations Department will share with you, by email, the latest work-study offers received from our vast and long-lasting network of more than 400 partner companies.

And since your fulfillment also depends on your private sphere, we also offer you services and tools to help you in your daily life, for example, to find your accommodation (with, among other things, the My Studapart platform), for the preferential conditions for obtaining a loan from our partner banks, for discounts on computer equipment or to pass your driving license.

THE INTERNATIONAL DIMENSION OF THE ICD BUSINESS SCHOOL SUPPORT

The ICD is fully aware of the issues related to the internationalization of our economy. This is why it offers you various opportunities such as double degrees, internships, semesters or even a year abroad in order to train you in a complex international environment and give you all the keys for your future career.

It should be noted that the ICD has established partnerships with more than 79 universities around the world and has host sites in Dublin, “Dublin Business School” and Shanghai, “Fundan University”.

To allow you to fully live this rich experience abroad, we guide you in an individualized way, in order to help you in all your steps, but also to prepare your departure in a serene and efficient way.

PROFESSIONAL EVENTS AT ICD BUSINESS SCHOOL

To further our support, we also offer various events that serve your professional project.

Among the essentials, you can take part in our business days which we organize every year. This is an opportunity for you to meet our partner companies looking for their future employees. You can also, during this event, find your internship or work-study program, but also expand your professional network, a theme that has become essential today. Indeed, did you know that according to the Ministry of Labor, 55% of recruitments are made through the relationship network? It is therefore crucial to create a solid network now!

Another highlight: “My career path”. This IGS Group device was designed in collaboration with APEC, Page Group, Welcome to the Jungle, Pimp my Career, Ubifrance in order to help you promote your application, but also to allow you to experience privileged events with the actors of recruitment.

The ICD Business School is also responsive and has done everything possible to continue to offer you professional events during the health crisis inherent in Covid-19. We have thus organized virtual jobdating with around fifty companies, webinars on the theme of employment, business conferences, etc.

BENEFIT FROM THE STRENGTH OF THE ICD ALUMNI NETWORK

The teaching staff of the ICD Business School is proud to have nearly 8,000 of its former students working in France or abroad.

We then decided to set up a network of former graduates, Alumni, in order to make you benefit from the strength of this network. You can discuss and seek valuable advice from these former students, or even access interesting professional opportunities through the ICD Alumni Web portal or at the ICD Creators meetings, which bring together former students, students with entrepreneurial projects as well as business managers or founders.
