The Focus-LEA programme is a rare and valuable opportunity for you to work with young volunteers, eager to learn and already well prepared for the professional world.
Here are 10 good reasons to participate in one of the many projects we offer:
1 – It’s free
Your company has absolutely no costs to pay. At most, you will have to give some of your time to our students. But this exchange of services will benefit both you and them.
2 – You may find future colleagues
LEA (Applied Foreign Languages) students are known for their multidisciplinary background and the professional nature of their degree. The programme volunteers are not only good linguists, but also proactive young people with polyvalent skills, used to teamwork. If you give them the chance to prove themselves, they could realise their professional project in your company and give you complete satisfaction.
3 – New ideas for your benefit
How to boost your company, improve its image and increase its notoriety? Are you looking for new ideas? Here is the programme that will suit your needs. Our students are born with Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and so on, and they are eager to share their experience and ideas with you, by setting up a modern and effective communication plan.
4 – Plenty of language pairs to choose from
There are no less than 9 major languages and 16 language combinations for the LEA students in Strasbourg. English, German, Spanish, Italian but also Russian, Japanese, Dutch, Greek, Swedish… so many language skills can be put at the service of your company’s international development.
5 – A framework provided by teachers
Defined for the most part by internship agreements, the projects of the Focus-LEA programme, and the students’ work, are supervised by volunteer teachers from the LEA department.
6 – A truly formative collaboration
Focus-LEA offers you the unique opportunity to participate in the professionalisation of volunteer and highly motivated students. Thanks to you, they will acquire practical knowledge that they could not get in an academic setting. They will then be able to plan their professional career more clearly.
7 – Committing yourself means giving your time, but also passing on your knowledge
Have you ever had the pleasure of sharing ideas, know-how and techniques with young apprentices? Sharing is one of the fundamental values of our programme. Committing yourself means passing on to our students the passion that drives you.
8 – Your image will be associated with the University of Strasbourg
Collaborating with university students is a way for your company to showcase itself in a new partnership without major constraints. It means guaranteed added value for your image.
9 – A flexible schedule
Usually flexible, the availability of students could correspond to your own time constraints. Let’s talk about it!
10 – Increased visibility for your company
Focus-LEA promotes its partners on its website and on social networks (Facebook, Instagram and YouTube). You will therefore be able to benefit from better visibility on the internet.
