<H2>THE CHALLENGES </H2>

Making an impact can have different meanings, and we believe that one of them is about improving how we support student’s careers. Have you ever asked yourself “have I chosen the right studies and the right career for me?”
According to the French Ministry of Higher Education, 150.000 french students decide to change their degree course. Participating to Vivatech is a great way to solve this issue through innovation. So let’s help them find the path that suits them best for their future career!
