As part of a work-study program at Elba France, I progressed from assistant to junior project manager and now oversee the rollout of campaigns resulting from calls for tenders. INSEEC Grande École provided me with the framework I needed to progress, and if I have one piece of advice, it is to have confidence in your abilities.
