De Vinci Higher Education and the Hauts-de-Seine Committee of French Foreign Trade Advisors (CCE) have signed an agreement aimed at strengthening students’ international exposure through educational activities, tutoring and support in finding internships abroad.
This agreement is part of a joint initiative to professionalise and internationalise training, with concrete actions planned both within and outside the curriculum.
International trade experts involved in programmes
The CCE will contribute to courses related to international trade, sharing practical expertise. Several formats are planned:
Presentations by geographical area (North America, Asia, Australia, etc.),
Sector-specific presentations on growth markets outside Europe,
Thematic sessions on international trade techniques.
These presentations will enable students in the Grande École Programme to broaden their understanding of global economic dynamics and gain a better grasp of intercultural issues.
Occasional support outside of class
In addition to scheduled activities, Committee members may act as facilitators for links with international companies or universities. They may also support certain student projects in conjunction with public or private institutions abroad, depending on the needs identified by the school.
International juries and mentoring
The CCEs will participate in juries for assignments, competitions and final dissertations. At the same time, they will act as mentors for international projects, reinforcing academic supervision with a professional perspective.
The Hauts-de-Seine Committee may intervene on an ad hoc basis to support the search for international internships, complementing the work carried out by the corporate relations department.
The aim is to resolve specific cases that require external support, without replacing the student’s mission.
Field monitoring during internships
In conjunction with their networks, the CCEs will be available to welcome and support students during their internships abroad, as far as possible and with the agreement of the local entities concerned.
By combining the educational expertise of the Léonard de Vinci Centre and the international network of CCEs, this partnership creates a structured framework to support students as they open up to the globalised professional world.
