Attend Our Events
Throughout the year, the BAIP organizes events to give students the opportunity to meet recruiters, network with professionals, explore different industries, and better prepare for their transition into the workforce.
These events are key opportunities to learn, expand your network, identify opportunities, and better understand the expectations of the professional world.
The BAIP organizes the following events, among others:
University Job Fair
The University Job Fair is an annual event that brings together students, graduates, and recruiters.
Through company booths, roundtable discussions, conferences, and recruitment sessions, it offers the chance to discover internship, work-study, and job opportunities while interacting directly with professionals.
A true highlight of the career transition process, this forum also helps participants better understand recruiters’ expectations, expand their professional networks, and advance their career plans.
Work-Study Month
The Alternance Forum is an event designed to connect students and recruiters regarding work-study programs.
It allows students looking for a work-study position to discover companies, explore job openings, and better understand employers’ expectations.
This event may also include preparatory activities, informational sessions, workshops, or testimonials to help students better understand the challenges of work-study programs and improve the effectiveness of their applications.
“5 Minutes to Convince” Contest
The “5 Minutes to Convince” competition offers students enrolled in a national degree program the opportunity to present a career project, an entrepreneurial project, or an idea in five minutes before a panel of professionals and higher education stakeholders.
This competition is a valuable exercise in public speaking and project presentation. It allows participants to develop their communication skills, structure their presentations, gain confidence in speaking, and strengthen their ability to persuade.
It also offers the opportunity to receive feedback, advice, and hands-on experience presenting to a jury.
Professional Integration Meetings
The Career Integration Events take the form of lectures, roundtable discussions, or Q&A sessions with professionals on topics related to employment, entrepreneurship, careers, and trends in the professional world.
These events allow students to learn about different career paths, gain a better understanding of specific industries, and engage with professionals working in the field.
Find an internship, a work-study program, or a job with ResUM
ResUM is the University of Montpellier’s professional network.
This platform enables students, recent graduates, recruiters, and staff to build their professional networks and facilitate access to employment.
Through ResUM, students can post their resumes, browse internship, work-study, and job openings, access practical resources, and stay in touch with university alumni. Recruiters, for their part, can post job opportunities, review profiles, and connect with talented graduates from the University of Montpellier’s programs.
