Why choose the EIC program?

Un stage au Canada va vous permettre de mettre en pratique les connaissances acquises durant votre parcours scolaire. Une bonne formation est primordiale mais tout aussi importante, une expérience à l’étranger va vous permettre de vous démarquer face à vos futurs employeurs. Votre stage va vous permettre d’acquérir une expérience pratique tout en vous donnant l’occasion d’évoluer dans un nouvel environnement.

Une expérience professionnelle au Canada est un moyen idéal de valoriser votre CV. Vous aurez l’occasion d’intégrer une entreprise dans le domaine de votre choix tout en y accomplissant différentes missions. Au Canada, les missions de stage sont évolutives et vont vous permettre d’obtenir de plus en plus de responsabilités au fur et à mesure de votre expérience.

En intégrant votre entreprise vous allez rencontrer ses employés, sa direction, ses clients et comprendre ses attentes en matière de travail. Une fois que vous aurez fait vos preuves, vous serez donc en excellente position si vous souhaitez poursuivre votre expérience dans la même entreprise ou dans une entreprise du secteur. Toutes les entreprises sont beaucoup plus enclines à embaucher quelqu’un déjà formé et efficace plutôt qu’un nouveau candidat.

Practice makes perfect! C’est en effet très souvent le cas et les employeurs préfèrent choisir des candidats qui ont une certaine expérience en rapport avec le poste pour lequel ils recrutent. Si vous avez déjà effectué ces missions lors de votre stage, un futur employeur sera donc beaucoup plus disposé à vous engager. Vous aurez déjà traversé la courbe d’apprentissage que le poste requiert et serez alors prêt pour le marché de l’emploi. Le fait d’avoir en plus effectué cette mission à l’étranger la rendra encore plus valorisante.

Gardez toujours en tête que les relations personnelles sont extrêmement importantes ! Les affaires, les contrats se concluent entre personnes et non pas entre des entreprises. Notre programme va vous permettre d’échanger, de travailler et de rencontrer de nouvelles personnes en créant des liens à trois différents niveaux :

  1. Les stagiaires, les employés et les dirigeants de votre entreprise
  2. Les autres participants du programme EIC
  3. Les étudiants internationaux de votre résidence universitaire

L’un des avantages de ce programme c’est que, même en étant à l’autre bout du monde loin de la famille et des amis, vous ne vous sentirez jamais seul ! Entre les amis de la résidence, ceux du programme et les collègues de bureau, vous n’aurez jamais le temps de vous ennuyer. Profitez de tous ces moments et bâtissez-vous des relations pour la vie.

Grande entreprise déjà bien implantée ou start-up en pleine expansion : grâce à EIC, vous avez l’opportunité de choisir dans quel environnement professionnel vous souhaitez faire votre stage.

Notre programme et les missions de stages ont été validés auprès de chaque compagnie afin d’être en adéquation avec vos attentes et celles de l’entreprise qui pourra ainsi vous accueillir dans des conditions optimales. Le but de notre programme : faire de vous un professionnel capable d’évoluer avec aisance dans un monde multiculturel et international.

Un stage est un excellent moyen de savoir si un domaine, un secteur, une entreprise, une mission, un pays, une ville est fait pour vous !

De l’entretien d’admission à l’expérience en entreprise en passant par le test de personnalité, le débriefing avec votre coach ainsi que toutes les relations que vous allez bâtir en dehors du stage, notre programme est le parfait moyen pour développer votre plein potentiel !

La découverte d’un nouveau pays et d’une nouvelle culture en s’appuyant sur notre expertise vous sera bénéfique tant sur le plan professionnel que personnel. Suite à votre stage, de très nombreuses opportunités vont s’offrir à vous sur le territoire. Entre poursuivre votre expérience avec votre employeur, rejoindre une autre entreprise ou poursuivre vos études dans l’une des très célèbres universités du pays, les possibilités sont infinies.

Le Canada fait partie des pays les plus sûrs au monde, avec un très faible taux de criminalité. Réaliser un stage dans ce pays permet de vivre une expérience professionnelle enrichissante en toute sérénité.
