The V.I.E. program (Volontariat International en Entreprise), is a fantastic opportunity for young professionals to gain international work experience abroad. But how exactly can a V.I.E. contract propel your career? Let's take a look at the experiences of Cérine Bouziane and Meiyun Zhang, two employees on V.I.E. contracts at Technology & Strategy, to see why this program might be the perfect springboard for you.
Cérine highlights the chance to "work for a large company and strengthen her language abilities." V.I.E. placements often involve working for prestigious organizations, giving you valuable experience on a global scale. Meiyun echoes this, saying "it gives you the opportunity to develop your professional skills as well as discovering another country and another culture!" The chance to hone your skills in an international environment makes you a more attractive candidate to future employers.
Cérine shares how the V.I.E. program "pushed me out of my comfort zone, giving me greater self-confidence and independence.". Living and working in a new country can be daunting, but overcoming these challenges builds resilience and resourcefulness. Meiyun's biggest takeaway was her "ability to adapt and communicate," a skill highly sought after in today's globalized workplace.
Cérine points out the V.I.E.'s ability to help you "develop an international professional network." These connections can be invaluable throughout your career. Meiyun emphasizes how the program "reinforced my belief that it is entirely possible to have a rich and interesting career path," both geographically and within different industries. The diverse experiences offered by V.I.E. contracts open doors to a wider range of career opportunities.
Both Cérine and Meiyun consider the V.I.E. program a "once-in-a-lifetime opportunity." It's a chance for personal and professional growth that will stay with you for years to come. If you're looking to take your career to the next level and broaden your horizons, a V.I.E. contract could be the perfect solution.
