| Workshops : | This practical work (optional or mandatory courses depending on the students' curriculum) takes the form of participating in a weekend experience entitled «Team, organisation and change» during which students, divided into teams, simulate the behaviour of a business under the guidance of a professional manager. This simulation allows the student to experience personally the teamwork, the management of a team, the organisation of the fundamental processes involved in business and the behaviour associated with changes at work. Each simulation is used as support for debriefing sessions led by a professional consultant in the field of human resources management. The practical work will be subject to a written report which will serve as the basis for the awarding of grades. | |||||
