As the University of Paris students that our students will be meeting in on this overseas experience are all employed in French organisations, the trip will provide networking opportunities and for students to enhance their knowledge of employability or postgraduate study. Our students will participate in a learning day at CIFFOP where they will be involved in group activities and whole class lectures with the students from Paris. The colleagues from the University of Paris: CIFFOP will organise speakers for the day from the world of business and people management.
