From its beginnings, Financia Business School has been built around work-study teaching.
Today, work-study programs are a key trend in post-secondary education and remain the cornerstone of our teaching approach. We have enriched, refined, and developed their use in line with the evolution of our training programs, changes in the job market, and the needs of our students and businesses.
For our students, work-study programs are a synthesis of theory, taught by our professional instructors, and practical experience gained through on-the-job training in companies. It's a mutually beneficial combination and a guarantee of a solid and reliable overall education.
Completing your academic studies through work-study programs means acquiring training and concrete experiences that will give each professional profile a richness, depth and diversity coveted in the job market.
For our partner companies, this is an opportunity to pass on their expertise to the future experts of tomorrow, to have dynamic and motivated trainees on their staff, and to promote the professional integration of young people. To support companies' training needs, financial assistance is available to optimize the financing of apprenticeships (funding via a Skills Development Fund, exemption from social security contributions).
To bring together the professional projects of our learners and the demands of our partner companies in a mutually enriching relationship, that is the mission of our business-school relations managers.
At Financia Business School, the planning, development, implementation, and monitoring of work-study programs are entrusted to our school-business relations managers. These advisors provide students with dedicated support.
When they arrive at Financia Business School, each new student is assigned a school-business relations manager who will support them throughout their job search through various actions.
Firstly, a preliminary interview is held between the business-school relations manager and the learner, which will allow the advisor to get to know the learner's professional profile, training project and motivations, to define their strengths and areas for improvement in order to establish a work plan to optimize the acquisition of an apprenticeship.
Then, our business-school relations manager recommends personalized advice on the three essential tools for finding work-study placements: CV, cover letter; they propose conducting interview simulations during which our learners are tested and transmit the profiles to our partner companies, taking into consideration their requirements.
And of course, our business-school relations managers are at the complete disposal of our learners throughout the research process to answer their questions and support them.
Financia Business School is also available to any company wishing to invest in a work-study training project with one or more of our learners, whether or not it is part of our network.
To cover your work-study needs, we select the best candidates according to your expectations, support you in the legal implementation of the work-study contract and guide the responsible tutor on the expectations in terms of supervision and in all stages of the learner's year.
