IESA arts&culture students must complete a work-study placement or an internship in a company or cultural institution in order to validate their program. The school’s Careers Service supports companies and institutions in defining their needs and meeting them.
Corporate Relations at IESA arts&culture
The companies and institutions that host our students are, for IESA arts&culture, true educational partners. All of the school’s programs are professionalizing. They combine the acquisition of fundamental knowledge and professional skills.
Work-study and internships hold a fundamental place there. They are places of learning where students can put into practice what they have learned, discover the reality of the professions they are training for and analyze the economy and functioning of the cultural sector.
At the end of their work-study or internship, students write a report that they also defend orally. This report contributes to the validation of the year.
Full-time or half-time internships throughout the year
Students alternate part-time and full-time internships during their program. These are generally internships of at least two months. Depending on their year of study, the rhythm is not the same.
Students can also complete short internships as part of the partnerships established between the school and major cultural events (trade shows, festivals, symposiums, etc.) where they handle press and VIP reception, liaison with exhibitors or artists, logistics, mediation, etc.
Work-study contracts
IESA arts&culture offers companies the option to hire 2nd and 3rd-year Bachelor students as well as 1st and 2nd-year Master students under professionalization or apprenticeship contracts. Work-study contracts are fixed-term (CDD) or open-ended (CDI) employment contracts with a professionalization component. Under these contracts, the student gains professional experience alongside their studies. The careers office supports students and companies in setting up the contract.
