The Benefits of the Training Program

ALL OF THE SCHOOL'S TRAINING PROGRAMS ARE SUPPORTED BY A NETWORK OF STRONG PARTNERSHIPS WITH:

- The industrial sector (800 internships, 200 industrial projects, and 50 apprenticeship contracts per year),

- Academic research (14 affiliated research laboratories),

- International partnerships (more than 100 partner universities worldwide).

 

The MSI training program receives strong support from:

- From the Occitanie Region, through the Regional Apprenticeship Training Center for Higher Education (CFA ENSUP LR);

- From the SNCT, the National Union of Boilermakers, Pipefitters, and Industrial Maintenance Workers.

 

Most partner companies hire engineering interns as soon as they graduate.
