Throughout the programme, the trainees benefit from personal supervision from their tutors, the HR department, the occupational departments and an expert mentor. This supervision includes operational missions, oversight during training, and preparation before taking up a position. Our graduate programmes, created in 2008, are on the one hand paths of excellence designed to train our future managers and experts, and on the other hand, diversified 12 to 24-month training courses combining practical teaching and operational immersion to gain a greater understanding of jobs in shared mobility.
