Apprenticeship and Work-Study Fair in Nantes 2027

L'Etudiant's flagship work-study and recruitment fair returns to Nantes for one day only, bringing together employers, apprenticeship training centres, schools and specialised organisations under one roof. It is the ideal setting for anyone weighing up a qualification that mixes classroom learning with real on-the-job experience. Throughout the day, journalists and careers specialists run free talks covering Parcoursup applications, the different work-study pathways available after the baccalauréat, and the sectors currently hiring the most apprentices. Visitors can also sit in on panel discussions and gather practical tips for approaching companies that are actively looking to sign apprenticeship or professionalisation contracts. The fair is open to high-school pupils, university students and professionals considering a career change, and no entry fee applies. Pre-registration is required and each visitor receives a named invitation that must be shown at the door on the day. The event takes place in the Grande Halle of La Cité des Congrès in Nantes, a well-connected venue close to the city centre with a range of hotels within walking distance for those travelling in from elsewhere in the region.
