Testimony
Alexis GALLAND
Junior Project Manager (work-study) in the French National Railway Department for Innovation and Research
My humane, curious, and hyperactive nature led me to choosing the specialization in Business Consulting after three years of studying the Paris School of Business Grande Ecole program.
Driven by my desire for a meaningful job involving contact with other people and variety within the missions I would carry out, I naturally gravitated towards the consulting profession. This training program teaches us how to take a critical stance on the corporate environment. We learn about project management in depth and improve our adaptability in order to be operational in all areas, regardless of the type of challenge we will face in the future.
