Do not neglect the power of networking in students’ clubs

Students’ clubs are one of the best ways to increase your chances of building your professional network and developing your address book. Be fully involved in your projects!

Spotlight on one of the best examples: the Port des Minimes of La Rochelle will host, from April 13th until April 21st, the 44th edition of the Course Croisière EDHEC. Everyone knows the Course, an event whose reputation is well established and has crossed the Nord-Pas-de-Calais’ borders. Yet you may not have in mind one of the fundamental aspects of the Course CroisièreEDHEC: the strong presence of companies. This club can be proud of attracting some of the best companies to this event. Whether they are business partners that accompany the Course Croisière EDHEC throughout the year or businesses animating stands in La Rochelle, all answered the call.

You have therefore the opportunity to discover the companies, jobs and career opportunities in an informal and relaxed atmosphere at the stands: in the institutional village, you will meet with Ernst & Young, La Poste, Orange, Groupe Atlantic, la SNCF or Sopra Group. Come and meet their managers, share information and contacts, especially on the recruitment process. That makes the Course Croisière EDHEC the most prominent informal recruitment forum in Europe!

Among companies supporting the event throughout the year, we can name Xerox, Groupe Casino, Brasserie Kronenbourg, GANT, Groupe Bel and Bongrain among others. For students who organize and take part in the Course Croisière, this is the time when you can prove your motivation, professionalism (sponsoring search, logistics & organization, etc.), and thus be spotted by recruiters.

Let’s meet in La Rochelle to combine business and pleasure: in two weeks, starting April 13^th, the Course Croisière EDHEC offers a week of sports trophies, friendly events, recruitment and networking!
