At these fairs, a wide variety of schools and universities will be represented, such as the University of Montreal, Skema Business School and engineering schools such as EFREI. Visitors will have the opportunity to discover these establishments and interact directly with their representatives. It is therefore the ideal opportunity for high school students to ask questions, to project themselves into their future school, and to find the training that suits them.
Conferences to inform and guide you
In addition to the school stands, the Post-bac fairs offer a rich program of conferences hosted by journalists from Le Figaro Étudiant and career guidance experts. The topics covered are varied and are aimed at both high school students and their parents.
For the final year students, workshops are planned on topics such as work methodology, stress management or how Parcoursup works. The “training” conferences will present the different possible paths after the baccalaureate: preparatory classes, studies abroad, engineering schools, business schools, health studies, etc. Focus will also be offered on the professions of the future such as those in digital, luxury, defense or video games.
Prepare Parcoursup and put all the chances on your side
Parents are not left out with dedicated workshops, led in particular by parent associations such as APEL or PEEP. They will be able to discover how to best support their child in their orientation and calmly approach key stages such as Parcoursup. To put all the chances on their side, high school students will also be able to meet representatives of business school competition banks at the fairs. The objective: to help them succeed as best as possible in the selection procedures on Parcoursup.
Real highlights of the year for high school students, the Post-bac fairs of Le Figaro Étudiant are a mine of information and advice to build your career plan with confidence, from the first trimester. Workshops, conferences, meetings with schools… Everything is planned to allow young people and their families to talk with specialists and make informed choices for their future.
