Working in Paris: Spring Internships for International Students

After an MBA or an MSc degree in Paris, France, what are the career opportunities? In March and April, many international students from EMLV found their way to internships in various departments such as business, client service, finance, logistics, and marketing. These on-the-job learning positions are critical components of the EMLV programmes and often lead to permanent contracts.

For 4 to 6 months every spring semester, EMLV students embed themselves in various multinational and startup companies as part of their MBA and MSc internship sequence. From business to logistics, finance industry to startup, the spring internship positions EMLV students take are as diverse as the students themselves. These work placements allow students to gain direct experience prior the graduation while learning new practical skills and making meaningful connections for their future careers.
