Organisational adjustments related to the current health context
The experience of an work placement / internship cannot be replaced by an online training. Thus, as far as possible and according to the strategies implemented in the targetted companies, we will try to organize the work placement even in the case of an orange sanitary code. It is likely that the work placement will be canceled in the event in the event of a red sanitary code. In this case, it will be replaced by a project and a report.
