The construction of his own professional project is one of the major objectives that each student-engineer must achieve during his time at the Ecole Centrale de Lyon. The main objective of this activity is to allow the student to reflect on himself to advance in the construction of his short-term engineer training project and his longer-term professional career project. The accompanying activity to the professional project must allow each student, at his own pace, to conduct his personal reflection on his professional project, even his life plan.The professional project of each student is obviously bound to evolve and deepen during the course of schooling, and well beyond...
In order to support the student in his reflection and in the construction of his professional project, a PCP (Principal Adviser) tutor is awarded to each student at the beginning of the course. This PCP tutor will follow him throughout his schooling, at least through 6 Bilateral Meetings (BM) scheduled during the common core. On the occasion of these BM, discussions will take place between the student and the PCP tutor on the progress of the reflection on the professional project and appraisal will be made at certain key moments of the cursus. On these occasions, the PCP tutor will also be able to discuss with the student his integration into the life of the campus and his universitary results.
Small-group workshops on career planning, led by HR professionals, are offered to students on a voluntary basis during S7, at the rate of 4 2-hour sessions. These workshops give students the opportunity to reflect on their career plans in greater depth, and to work on their CVs, cover letters and interviews.
