To kick off the two-day event, an escape game developed by I\u00c9SEG, in partnership with the CETI (Center for Educational and Technological Innovation<\/a>) and the agency “Urban Gaming”, was organized to give students an immersive experience to better understand the evaluation criteria applied by recruiters during job interviews. This innovative method is being adopted increasingly by major companies (including PWC, Accenture, Renault, Accor, BNP Paribas\u2026) as part of their recruitment process.
After the kick-off, students were challenged to solve riddles and take on challenges as a team, within a given timeframe. This activity enabled students to call on the interpersonal skills commonly known as “soft skills” that they have developed throughout their time at I\u00c9SEG, notably through their various activities (business games, group projects, internships, exchanges abroad, etc.): collecting information, managing contingencies, adaptability, problem-solving, critical thinking, and communicating to achieve a common goal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“I found it useful to make the link between the skills developed in the escape game and the skills we learned on the academic level at I\u00c9SEG. I think this game really helped us to see how we work as a team, with people we don’t know.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
