Air France strengthens its collaboration with De Vinci Higher Education for 2024-2025

For the 2024-2025 academic year, Air France is expanding its involvement with EMLV, ESILV, and IIM through a new partnership designed to support student employability through innovative and practical initiatives.

This collaboration aims to create meaningful bridges between academic training and the corporate world.

Air France and De Vinci Higher Education: a partnership driven by employability and training

This renewed agreement between Air France and the three schools of De Vinci Higher Education reflects a shared ambition to align academic learning with professional realities. Leveraging its industry expertise, Air France contributes to the training of future professionals from EMLV, ESILV, and IIM.

The partnership is part of a broader effort to bring academic institutions and businesses closer together and prepare students for a competitive job market.

Preparing for the future with real-world professional opportunities

Air France offers immersive experiences that allow students to explore the inner workings of a major international airline.

Through internships and work-study contracts, students from all three schools have the opportunity to build both technical and interpersonal skills. These professional experiences enhance their academic journey and facilitate their entry into the workforce.

In addition, Air France employees will lead career-oriented talks throughout the year, offering valuable insights into aviation-related professions and creating opportunities for students to expand their professional network.

Collaborative and educational projects to develop practical skills

As part of the partnership, Air France will propose project-based learning activities, allowing students to apply their academic knowledge to real-world challenges in the aviation sector.

These projects, supervised by Air France professionals, will help students strengthen their skills in project management, problem-solving, and teamwork.

Immersive company visits will also be organised, providing students with a unique perspective on the operations and strategic challenges of a major airline.

A shared vision focused on innovation and excellence

Air France and De Vinci Higher Education are aligned in their commitment to innovation, excellence, and professionalism.

These core values are embedded in the training approach of EMLV, ESILV, and IIM, and are central to the objective of equipping students to meet tomorrow’s challenges.

By establishing this strategic collaboration, both partners reaffirm their dedication to supporting student success and promoting career-readiness across all disciplines.

Supporting personalised career pathways

The partnership also focuses on offering tailored career support. Air France representatives and De Vinci staff will work together to align opportunities with individual student goals and aspirations.

This personalised approach is designed to maximise career outcomes and ensure that each graduate is well-equipped to enter the workforce with confidence.

The partnership illustrates a successful model of academic-business collaboration, supporting the development of talent and reinforcing the relevance of education in a changing world.
