Created in 2022 by ISAE-SUPAERO as a continuation of its OSE student social outreach program, joined by ENAC in 2023 and Institut Polytechnique de Paris in 2024, OSE inGÉ is part of our schools' student social outreach programs. It is a support program for students in scientific preparatory classes for the grandes écoles (CPGE ) in the Occitanie academic region.

► OSE inGÉ, in a few words

OSE inGÉ aims to promote student diversity (social, cultural, territorial and gender) in access to the Grandes Ecoles and the world of engineering. The program is aimed at female students and/or students on scholarship throughout their CPGE studies, to help them build their future plans and develop their ambitions. It helps to combat self-censorship, boost self-confidence and encourage the development of all potential and talent.

► Device commitments :

Support students throughout their CPGE years, right up to the competitive entrance exams
Guide them in building their career plans and aspirations
Help them prepare for oral exams
help them gain a deeper understanding of the world of the Grandes Ecoles, scientific careers and the world of engineering
Encourage them to discover and exploit their full potential
Help them with the logistics of taking the oral exams

► So me figures:

In 2022-2023: 42 first-year CPGE science students from 3 Toulouse high schools and 42 alumni mentors!

In 2023-2024: 30 second-year CPGE students and 49 first-year CPGE students from 6 high schools in Toulouse, 76 alumni mentors!

In 2024-2025: 44 second-year CPGE students and 70 students from the Toulouse and Montpellier academies, nearly 100 alumni mentors!

Our goal by 2026: to have supported 250 students from the time they start CPGE to the time they pass their competitive entrance exams!

► The program :

CUSTOMIZED MENTORING

Students benefit from personalized, one-to-one support from an alumni mentor, according to their availability and needs. They are supported right up to the competitive entrance exams by an alumnus of one of the schools involved, whose experience, support and attentiveness help them to answer their questions and confirm their choices. Mentors receive expert training to help them provide the best possible support to CPGE students.

ON-CAMPUS IMMERSION COURSES

Students are welcomed on campus four times during their 2 years of CPGE. These internships provide an opportunity to :

discover campuses of higher education establishments,
talk to former CPGE students and professionals with inspiring backgrounds,
meet their mentors,
consolidate their knowledge and
learn how to better manage their CPGE years.

ONE-OFF EVENTS

Once a year, an evening meeting with professionals is organized in each partner high school.

► Our 7 partner high schools for 2024-2025!

In its second year of existence, the program has accompanied its first class of preparatory students to the competitive entrance exams! We are continuing our commitment by opening 70 places in 2024 to first-year CPGE students from 7 schools in the Toulouse and Montpellier academies:
