The Volunteer for International Experience (VIE) scheme (also called the “International Internship Programme) is a highly enriching and rewarding system for the career path for students and graduates.
Societe Generale is the leading provider of VIE in France and offers opportunities all over the world: United States, Canada, Great Britain, Luxembourg, Asia and Africa. By joining Societe Generale for a VIE assignment, you will be gaining experience of 6-24 months abroad, which will make it easier for you to be hired under a permanent contract within the group. In fact, our former VIEs, interns and work-study participants are the main source of candidates for graduate permanent contracts.
