Description of the program
This is an immersion program into the professional world, for 12 weeks (3 months), giving new graduates the opportunity to learn while gaining professional experience. Each new recruit has the opportunity to collaborate with other team members on a project. They are thus given the opportunity to learn from their mistakes and improve with the supervision of experienced professionals. In addition, presentations and theoretical courses, directly related to the tasks performed, are given in order to shed light on certain behaviors or attitudes to adopt in order to excel in the professional environment. In addition to the technical aspects, the lessons provided focus on soft skills and the attitude to adopt in the professional environment. Among the modules covered by the training, we can mention:
- Work effectively remotely
- Be efficient at work
- Adopt a professional attitude
- And many others
Recruits also benefit from coaching and mentoring throughout their internship, and even beyond. We bear the costs of training in order to contribute to the professional development of the younger generations.
Internship requirements
The internship is mostly done remotely due to the fact that most team members are generally dispersed across the country and internationally. Therefore, candidates must have a laptop and a smart phone connected to a good internet connection. Candidates must also be able to work effectively independently and with little supervision.

At the end of this program, our recruits are able to:
- Better fit in and work effectively in a company
