\n\t Les Cord\u00e9es de la R\u00e9ussite to discover the world of graduate schools <\/h1>\n \n\t <\/header>\n
\n

Access to higher education is not always simple when you are unsure of the prospects. To familiarize middle and high school students with the different fields and professions of engineering, Telecom SudParis in continuing its involvement in \u201cLes Cord\u00e9es de la R\u00e9ussite<\/a>\u201d, a national scheme created in 2008 as part of the \u201cEspoir Banlieue\u201d interministerial initiative that aims to help support young people from disadvantaged neighborhoods. Telecom SudParis carries out multiple actions for pupils in the city of Evry-Courcouronnes and schools in the Versailles circumscription. This inspiring program promotes greater equity and social diversity in higher education.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Aims of Les Cord\u00e9es de la R\u00e9ussite<\/h2>\n

Fighting self-censorship and getting students interested in higher education: this is made possible from 8th<\/sup> grade thanks to Les Cord\u00e9es de la R\u00e9ussite. To achieve its objective, the scheme builds on multiple partnerships between \"T\u00eates de Cord\u00e9e\" (higher education institutions or high schools with preparatory classes (CPGE) and technical higher education classes (STS)) and other establishments such as middle and high schools, called \u201cEncord\u00e9s\u201d. This networking between institutions builds dynamic connections between schools, higher education institutions and the world of work.<\/p>\n

Les Cord\u00e9es de la R\u00e9ussite partnerships also support middle and high school pupils in priority areas or neighborhoods to open their perspectives to all fields of possibility. The main aim is to promote greater social equity in access to high-level courses. Middle and high school pupils prepare for their future and plan their higher education studies and professional integration through tutoring and cultural openness activities (visits, conferences, travel, etc.) organized by volunteer students from higher education institutions. These exchanges encourage middle and high school pupils to step outside of their usual environment <\/strong>and invite them to discover studies and career paths they may not have considered<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Actions by Telecom SudParis<\/h2>\n

Each year, a new generation of pupils take part in Les Cord\u00e9es de la R\u00e9ussite<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/p>\n

To overcome social inequalities, our school, Telecom SudParis, obtained \u201cLes Cord\u00e9es de la R\u00e9ussite\u201d certification in 2011<\/strong>. However, the certification process did not prevent the school from taking its own initiatives back in the early 2000s through a partnership with Coll\u00e8ge Georges M\u00e9li\u00e8s in the 19th<\/sup> arrondissement of Paris and Verizon Business France.<\/p>\n

In 2015, IMT-BS joined forces with Telecom SudParis to lead the partnership and new beneficiary schools joined the scheme: Lyc\u00e9e Georges Brassens, Coll\u00e8ge Galil\u00e9e, Coll\u00e8ge Le Village and Coll\u00e8ge Paul \u00c9luard in \u00c9vry-Courcouronnes. The initiative is also supported by the \u00cele-de-France region and Grand Paris Sud to offer pupils the means to succeed and continue their studies in higher education<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Volunteer students from Telecom SudParis and IMT-BS, united within the Les Partenariats d\u2019Excellence - LPE<\/a>(fr) student association, carry out one-off actions for Cord\u00e9es de la R\u00e9ussite throughout the year. In 2020, the student association took charge of the operational implementation of the program and tutoring in math, French, and English for pupils from secondary schools in the priority education network was set up in addition to the national Cord\u00e9es de la R\u00e9ussite<\/em> day.<\/p>\n

High school \u201ckits\u201d with school equipment are given to these future students. Cultural trips, visits to companies and conferences at the partner schools are organized several times a year. The conferences cover a range of topics such as \u201cfinding your dream job by discovering who you really are\u201d, and the different educational pathways and courses available. The aim is to give real visibility to these middle and high school pupils in search of a future and an ambition<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The programs offered to middle and high schools can also be adapted according to the teacher in charge. For example, an educational trip to Brussels was organized for 9th<\/sup> grade students at Coll\u00e8ge Paul \u00c9luard. The trip included visits to the European Parliament, the Planetarium, and the Atomium, as well as shows and a film on science. The trip was made possible thanks to fundraising events (bake sales, charity run).<\/p>\n

The national Les Cord\u00e9es de la R\u00e9ussite day to promote school support<\/h2>\n

The national Les Cord\u00e9es de la R\u00e9ussite day in 2023 will allow 150 pupils from Lyc\u00e9e Georges Brassens, Coll\u00e8ge Galil\u00e9e, Coll\u00e8ge Le Village, and Coll\u00e8ge Paul \u00c9luard in \u00c9vry-Courcouronnes to share their feelings and preconceptions about their future studies.<\/p>\n

Testimonies from graduates, exchanges with engineering students and managers, campus visits, conferences, and workshops will allow pupils to discover the different fields, orientations and professions of engineering and management.<\/p>\n

It is an ideal opportunity for them to understand the major challenges of these professions linked to sectors focused on the future<\/strong>. The national day is the culmination of the support offered by our volunteer students throughout the year and helps prepare pupils for their career decisions and helps them believe in themselves and their dreams.<\/p>\n

Equal opportunity, Abdelkrim Benamar\u2019s story<\/h2>\n

\"Abdelkrim-Benamar\"
Abdelkrim Benamar<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/p>\n

Abdelkrim Benamar grew up in a family from a modest background and was not aware of Les Cord\u00e9es de la R\u00e9ussite, the preparatory classes or the graduate schools available to him.<\/p>\n

A member of our 1993 graduating class and former EMEA Vice-President at Alcatel-Lucent, Abdelkrim is the epitome of meritocracy<\/strong>. It was in final year of high school, at the crucial moment when he had to make decisions about his future career and study paths, that a math professor advised him to consider a scientific preparatory class. Thanks to Les Cord\u00e9es de la R\u00e9ussite, he discovered the post-baccalaureate world of graduate schools<\/strong>, in particular through open days.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs a society we are not all the same, some have more means than others, but ultimately we are all masters of our own destiny.<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n

Today, Abdelkrim Benamar is President and CEO of PowerUp. He strives to give back to society what it gave him and has been involved with Les Cord\u00e9es de la R\u00e9ussite for many years. He now offers his time to future graduates by sharing his experience<\/strong>, providing coaching sessions or putting students in touch with people in his professional network.<\/p>\n

The support provided by Les Cord\u00e9es de la R\u00e9ussite partnerships and the financial aid available to students during their studies are a real asset for promoting equal opportunity. It is important for a person to be able to build on their strengths in order to give the best of themselves and realize their ambitions.<\/p>\n
