Pooling resources to meet future challenges
This partnership will thus help to strengthen the whole spectrum of relations between the school and the industrial company: site visits, student projects, internships, graduate recruitments, networks of brilliant ambassadors, etc. On the research side, relations between Framatome and IMT Atlantique go back several years to the development of the energy mix and associated control studies.
This partnership is a sponsorship agreement under the aegis of the Fondation Mines-Télécom. Framatome joins the Foundation's patrons as a "Targeted Actions" partner supporting the "Campus Partnership" programme, which aims to support the school's development by offering information, guidance and support to IMT Atlantique students.
An attractive nuclear industry
In order to meet the major societal challenges of combating climate change and ensuring energy sovereignty, both parties are committed to making the nuclear sector attractive to future engineers, sharing their expertise and promoting the development of skills.
More than 60 students this year have chosen the nuclear sector, which is the third most promising industrial sector in France, with forecasts for the recruitment of 4,000 engineers per year.
Over the last three years at IMT Atlantique (source: CGE 1st job survey), despite the health crisis, 13 graduates have been recruited and an average of 5 interns have been taken on per year at Framatome.
