Context & objective

However, some recruiters still note their lack of knowledge of the entrepreneurial world, which can constitute a brake on their employability. In order to best prepare them for the prospects available to them and to promote their integration into a company, it is necessary to encourage them to:


> Understand the functioning and organization of a company and the entrepreneurial universe
> Know the associated professions to which they can aspire
> Consider means of collaboration
> Know how to get information and meet companies
