Goal: hiring one out of two interns
Young graduates mostly come from engineering schools, sometimes business schools.
The company has in fact built partnerships with some universities in France (Centrale Paris, Supélec, Eurecom, Edhec, Skema, Université de Nice) and abroad (ETH in Zürich and MIT in Boston).
“We participate in over forty student forums every year to introduce our work. We also try to come with alumni from the school in question who are now working with us” continues Magali Viano.
Amadeus attracts close to 200 interns every year. It recently appeared in the Happy Trainees ranking at number 15, a listing that rewards companies that invest in young professionals.
“Out of the 80 last year student interns in 2014, we kept around 35. I hope to reach, in the long run, the goal of keeping one out of two interns” specifies Magalia Viano.
