EIGSI La Rochelle has developed active partnerships with leading businesses and industrial firms. Each year a new company sponsors the entering EIGSI engineering cycle graduating class.
This sponsorship is based on values shared by the school and the partner company: team spirit, respect, innovation, openness and commitment. But above all this sponsorship is a partnership that is built over time, since the sponsor must be present from the very beginning of the Engineering Cycle (EIGSI-3) until graduation, three years later.
The sponsor is actively involved in the lives of the EIGSI engineering students in order to create an esprit de corps within a graduating class that includes new incoming students from preparatory classes, gateway year and IUTs.
Specifically, the relationship between the sponsor and the graduating class is based on three main areas: exclusive internship offers, conferences and dedicated activities.
For EIGSI engineering students, sponsorship is a real springboard and an opportunity to network with executives from large corporations. The students acquire skills and technical and organizational knowledge through a prestigious sponsor.
