Le Salon de l’Etudiant

The Salon de l’Etudiant: Formations et Recrutement en Alternance à Lille opens its doors for its 13ᵉ edition on Friday March 20 and Saturday March 21, 2026 at Lille Grand Palais! A real place for exchanges and discoveries, this major event in the educational landscape is organized in partnership with the Hauts-de-France Academic Region and the Ministry of Labor.

At a time when training paths are becoming increasingly diversified, it’s more important than ever to find reliable, concrete reference points to help you build your future. This show is a benchmark event, designed to inform and support you at a key moment in your career.

At conferences, workshops and information stands, you’ll be able to talk directly to companies, training establishments and people involved in work-study schemes. You’ll find all the answers you need about career opportunities, apprenticeship and professionalization contracts, entry requirements and the skills you’ll need. It’s the perfect place to find out more about vocational training courses, prepare to enter the job market and discover all the bridges between study and employment.

We’re also pleased to offer a job dating event, organized in partnership with Clubster Ecole Entreprise and Adopt1Alternant. Everyone will be able to come and meet companies that are recruiting.
