Impact partnerships for Masters of Science

Jobs That Make Sense, Natixis, and IBM sponsor four final-year programs

‍

In the final year of the Master Grande Ecole (MGE), BSB students can choose to obtain a double degree by joining one of the eight Masters of Science (MSc) offered by the School. An opportunity for them to specialize in a specific sector and jobs, and a sesame for recruiters.

‍

To establish the reputation of the programs, but above all to expose students concretely to the realities of jobs, to the expertise that is deployed there, and more widely to networks relevant to their future professional activities, four MSc BSB are forging partnerships with the companies Jobs That Make Sense, Natixis and IBM. These sponsor societies will work with students at least once a year.

Toward a better world with Jobs That Make Sense

‍

The MSc Green Tech & Sustainable Societies aims to specialize managers who will be able to assess and design practices, technologies and systems that provide sustainable solutions to communities and organizations. In this sense, a partnership with the first employment platform with a positive impact Jobs That Make Sense makes particularly... sense.

‍

“For 8 years, we have been helping citizens to give meaning to their careers, with the conviction that choosing a job with a positive impact is undoubtedly the most powerful way to act for the ecological and social transition”, explains Nicolas Vergne, Development Manager at Jobs That Make Sense. “We even believe that in the long run only companies that are genuinely committed will be able to recruit. This is the meaning of the major reorientation of the job market that we are bringing about with all the players in the ecosystem: impact organizations, committed citizens, and training organizations.”

‍

“Referencing BSB's MSc Green Tech & Sustainable Societies is particularly relevant for us because this program contributes to the skills of students in the challenges of green and green professions, which are essential for this reorientation. More generally, by showing students the diversity of existing jobs on the platform, there is also the challenge of removing some potential prejudices, in particular on integration into ecological transition professions.”
