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.

After checking that you are fully eligible for VIE, send your application for an offer on our site.
If your application is been accepted by the recruitment teams, you will be asked to complete some online tests (English test, logic test and so on).
Once you have passed your tests, you have an interview with the manager, often on Skype. It is a fit? Then you will be made an offer.
The recruitment teams support you in your administrative formalities with Business France, the French agency for business development abroad that manages VIEs.
With your visa in your pocket (if required) and your contract signed, off you go on your assignment abroad, for integration into the Societe Generale teams!
By benefiting from a VIE, you are joining an international community of 2,000 interns, work-study participants and VIEs. You will also receive special support: integration into the teams, networking, career counselling, exploration.
