Event connects students with internships

An event in Dijon is designed to help third-year middle school students find observation internships by connecting them with local businesses, authorities, and organizations. The initiative is a collaboration between a shopping center, the Department, and the Dijon Academy, offering around 200 internship opportunities for students to explore.

Initiative supports student access to internships

The event is part of a commitment by 54 young Departmental Councilors, who represent both public and private middle schools in the region. They aimed to address the challenge many students face in accessing internships, often due to limited professional connections.

Students can explore various professions

During the event, students will have the chance to interact with professionals, learn about different careers, and ask questions. They can also apply for one of the available internship offers, depending on the opportunities presented. Solène Jourde, director of La Toison d'Or, emphasized that the goal is to help students discover new career paths and make their internship search more concrete.

Event addresses student needs

François Sauvadet, president of the Departmental Council, stated that the event responds to difficulties expressed by middle school students and relayed by the Departmental Council of Young People. The event is free and does not require registration, allowing students to attend with or without their parents.

Event details and location

The event will take place on Wednesday, November 4, 2026, from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. at Allée Primark bas – Toison d'Or Center in Dijon. It is open to all third-year middle school students.
