I decided to pursue my studies on a work-study basis to discover the world of work and to be able to apply directly the concepts I had learned during my training. Field learning is an ideal complement to my studies.
What I like most about working for SILAB is the variety of activities I get to discover, thanks to the size of the site and the diversity of my assignments, which means I don't have to settle into a routine.
If I had to give one piece of advice to the future class of work-study students, I'd tell them to show initiative and autonomy.

Thanks to the work-study program, I can put the theoretical knowledge I've acquired at school into practice in a concrete professional environment. This will allow me to be more operational and competitive on the job market once my studies are over. I'm also meeting industry professionals and building up a solid network.

The tasks entrusted to me are varied and interesting, enabling me to put my skills into practice and develop new ones.

I chose to do my final year of work-study, in particular to get my first foot in the door of the professional world, to put my theoretical skills into practice, but also to acquire new ones. I opted for this route to discover the various jobs available with my diploma, as well as the field of activity offered by the company, in order to to narrow down my career path. The salary is also a significant advantage for financing my studies.
What I like most about SILAB is the team spirit. The serene and friendly atmosphere, as well as the availability and benevolence of my colleagues, make for better work. I also appreciate the quality of the equipment and the new premises, which offer a pleasant working environment.
They need to satisfy their curiosity and visit several departments to broaden their future professional horizons. It's important that they dare to ask questions to their colleagues or their tutor: they'll be ready to listen.
Justin Pratx
Bachelor of technology in biological engineering food science and biotechnology specialization
Biotechnology production technician apprentice
In my second year of Bachelor of technology, I opted for a work-study training program. I wanted to combine theory and practice to deepen my scientific knowledge while acquiring solid professional experience. This choice also enabled me to finance my studies while preparing me for the world of work, with a particular focus on the cosmetics and biotechnology sectors, where I'm tending to evolve.
What I appreciate most is the opportunity to work in an innovative and dynamic company, where I was able to acquire new skills by taking part in concrete projects in the biotechnology field. Finally, I particularly appreciated the quality of the training and the commitment of those who contributed to my professional development this year.
It's hard to give advice, but in my opinion, involvement in the day-to-day work and curiosity are two factors that promote success. Use every opportunity to develop new skills and show your motivation throughout your experience.
