The alumni.devinci.fr/en website is the window to the services offered by the alumni department of Devinci Higher Education schools.

This platform aims to provide a directory of alumni, inform about dedicated events, promote the services offered and highlight both school news and graduates' careers.
Our mission is based on 3 fundamental points: connecting, engaging and promoting the alumni.

Connect

Connecting alumni is one of the department's key missions.
Regional and specialized events give alumni the opportunity to reconnect with their peers, forge new links and celebrate their commitment to their school. These gatherings, in Paris, in the regions or abroad, enable alumni to expand their professional network. In addition, an online alumni directory is available, an essential networking tool, to facilitate connections and networking.

Engage

Alumni's commitment to students and their school can be seen in operations such as mentoring and tutoring, as well as their participation in the Alumni Fair, where they talk to students about their positions and companies. Alumni are also involved in recruiting students and alumni for internships, work-study programs, fixed-term or permanent contracts. They also play an important role in the dynamic development of our partner companies and the payment of the apprenticeship tax.

This mobilization strengthens the intergenerational link, supports the professionalization of students and the long-term development of Devinci Higher Education.

Promoting

Promoting the professional positions of alumni is essential to nurturing a culture of excellence and inspiration within the Devinci Alumni community. Highlighting their achievements helps build alumni pride in their diploma and in their community as a whole.
Promoting the alumni is also giving support to their career journey. The Career section offers personalized support to guide graduates towards professional opportunities aligned with their skills and aspirations. Online coaching sessions, webinars, a bank of specialized articles and the job board are all resources to support their career progression step by step.
