The educational approach of the IFM favors maintaining strong and durable links with companies and recruiters and it has established an effective form of interactivity between the teaching staff, the industry and the student.
The professionals in the sector are involved first of all in the recruitment process as they participate in the admission process and secondly, as they are actively involved in teaching.

- specific personalized help and advice adapted to the needs of the individual
Personalized career guidance
During the course of the years study at the IFM, each student is encouraged to build and refine his or her professional plans.
Individual meetings with the guidance counselor are organized to help the student to orient himself in relation to his or her academic journey and/or professional experience, their preferences and strong points, and the opportunities available in the sectors concerned.

All of the graduates of the IFM benefit from this personalized supervision, whether they are looking for work or wish to take stock of their career and their professional perspectives.
