Anne PFERSDORFF, Talent Centre Director
A tailor-made path to build your professional future
At 17 or 18 years old, choosing a career path is a real challenge. Very few young high school graduates have a clear idea of the range of careers out there! At Excelia, we understand that you are unique… with your own personality, talents, and aspirations. That’s why we’ve designed a truly personalised support initiative that takes into account your profile, your pace, and how your career plans evolve.
Every student is different and will build their professional project at different speeds. Some have a clear vision of their future, whilst others need time to explore different possibilities and refine their choices. This difference is perfectly normal and is an integral part of the learning process.
Why choose Excelia?
We understand the concerns you may have and the questions you are probably asking yourself…
- "What job would suit me best?"
- "How do I enter the world of work with ease?"
- "What can I do to stand out in the job market?"
