The year's main events
| Integration Days - Organised in partnership with the sponsoring company of the graduating class, the integration day gives new students the opportunity to discover the school and the ties that bind all students together. Each student chooses a sponsor from the year above. Their role is to help the new student to get to grips with the first year from an academic point of view and to integrate into all the year's classes through a system known as "lineage". It is partly thanks to this virtuous circle of mentoring that ESITC students remain in contact throughout all or part of their careers
| Corporate relations - Each year, the ESITC Paris Student Office is responsible for organising the school's forum between January and May, as well as conferences in collaboration with companies in the sector. The presentations are designed to be interactive and relevant, in an atmosphere conducive to dialogue. The conference is followed by a buffet where students can discuss freely with the speakers present. Operational staff, who may or may not be alumni of the school, share their experiences and feelings. This informal atmosphere allows students to freely ask questions about the careers that await them. It's also an opportunity for our students looking for work placements to submit their CVs to the Human Resources managers present
| Forum - The BDE offers fellow students the chance to meet companies in the sector during a day dedicated to finding internships, TFE or first jobs
| The Gala - It's one of the most eagerly awaited events of the year. The festivities begin with a dinner at which our partners and those who contribute to the life of the school get together. This dinner is an opportunity for the BDE to thank the companies for their trust and proximity. The event continues with a dance in a Parisian nightclub
| A ski week is organised in partnership with Léon Grosse around the second week of March. This event is an opportunity to combine sport and relaxation and to strengthen inter-promotional cohesion. The first weekend of the stay takes place with some Léon Grosse employees, alumni of ESITC Paris, who share their experiences within the group with the students
| Initiatives - Every year, the BDE organises pedogogical, associative or professional initiatives in collaboration with companies, which help to foster a spirit of cohesion and mutual aid between the classes
