It is therefore the ideal opportunity for high school students to ask questions, to project themselves into their future school, and to find the training that suits them.

Conferences to get information and orientation

In addition to the school stands, the Post-bac fairs offer a rich program of conferences hosted by journalists from Le Figaro Étudiant and career guidance experts. The topics covered are varied and are aimed at both high school students and their parents.

For the final year students, workshops are planned on topics such as work methodology, stress management and how Parcoursup works. The “training” conferences will present the different possible paths after the baccalaureate: preparatory classes, study abroad, engineering schools, business schools, health studies, etc. There will also be a focus on careers of the future, such as digital, luxury, defense, and video games.

Prepare for Parcoursup and give yourself every chance

Parents are not left out, with dedicated workshops, led in particular by parent-teacher associations such as APEL or PEEP. They will thus be able to discover how to best support their child in their orientation and calmly approach key stages such as Parcoursup. To put all the chances on their side, high school students will also be able to meet representatives of business school competition banks at the fairs. The objective: to help them to succeed as best as possible in the selection procedures on Parcoursup.

Real highlights of the year for high school students, the Figaro Étudiant Post-bac fairs are a mine of information and advice for building your orientation project with confidence, from the first quarter onwards. Workshops, conferences, meetings with schools… Everything is planned to allow young people and their families to talk with specialists and make informed choices for their future.
