THE FIRST DAY AT THE ACADEMY: TUTORING APPOINTMENT + CV WORKSHOP

Resume workshop in French

Preparation of the student for the first meeting with the company. The essential points for the oral presentation are made with our internship tutor during a 2-hour workshop. At the end, students have a mock interview with ALFMED staff: personal information, language skills, academic and professional background, motivation and expectations, advice on French culture and intercultural communication…

Once a month we organize a SKILLS#Eu workshop among Erasmus+ students so that they can experiment and practice multicultural communication, a cool experience to break the ice!

The second day at the Academy: Internship meeting and city tour

Internship appointment: ALFMED staff brings the intern to the host company for the internship interview with the mentor. The interview allows a valuable informative contact with the Mentor of the company: presentation of the intern, definition of the working conditions: tasks and mutual expectations, calendars and schedules, dress code for the internship, short visit of the company…
