Club des Entreprises de l'Université Savoie Mont Blanc

What Club des Entreprises de l'Université Savoie Mont Blanc does

The Club des Entreprises de l'Université Savoie Mont Blanc is a French non-profit association (association loi 1901, 'association d'intérêt général') founded in 1991 and headquartered in Annecy-le-Vieux, France. It operates as the formal intermediation vehicle between Université Savoie Mont Blanc and the regional enterprise community, grouping 100 member enterprises and over 1,000 partner enterprises and institutions. Its mission is to facilitate student professional insertion through internships, apprenticeships, mentoring, entrepreneurship support, and direct recruiting channels, while giving member enterprises structured access to the university's talent pipeline. The organization is led by Délégué Général Nicolas Borghese and a core team of roughly 9–10 project managers, each assigned as the dedicated referent for a specific campus or program (IAE, Polytech, IUT Annecy and Chambéry, Faculté de Droit, Sciences & Montagne, international, alternance, entrepreneurship, and IT tools).

The Club's core products are programmatic rather than software-native. The flagship digital asset is the Career Center JOB TEASER platform (club-usmb.jobteaser.com), a third-party SaaS career-center product accessed via web and mobile app that publishes internship, apprenticeship, and job offers and surfaces career events. Other named offerings include Box iPro (professional insertion program), Box Expert (professionals delivering university courses), the Mentorat (mentorship) program, and a Student Job Search Tools suite comprising CV templates, cover letter guides, interview-preparation materials, pitch templates, and international internship guides. Distribution is hybrid: physical presence across eight university campus sites in Annecy-le-Vieux, Jacob-Bellecombette, Chambéry, and Le Bourget-du-Lac, complemented by events (job dating, Semaine Emploi & Entreprise, forums, conferences) and digital channels (LinkedIn, Instagram, YouTube, Flickr, newsletter, JobTeaser).

Revenue is generated through two primary streams: recurring membership fees paid by the 100 member enterprises (a subscription model), and directed funding from companies via the French 'taxe d'apprentissage' (apprenticeship training tax) channeled to USMB. The organization also benefits from public-sector support — both financial and reputational — from Région Auvergne Rhône Alpes, Départements de la Haute-Savoie and Savoie, Grand Annecy, Chambéry Grand Lac Economie, and other regional bodies. No pricing is publicly disclosed, no funding rounds or external investment are reported, and revenue figures are not available in the source data.

Direct peers

• Réseau Entreprendre: Network of business leaders providing mentoring to entrepreneurs, sharing the Club's one-to-one mentorat model and its combination of community-driven enterprise engagement.
• Pépite France: National network of Pôles Étudiants Pour l'Innovation, le Transfert et l'Entrepreneuriat — student entrepreneurship hubs embedded across French universities that share the Club's student entrepreneurship support mandate, though at national scale.
• APEC: APEC is the French agency for executive employment intermediation, providing career services that connect recruiters with candidates — the same core intermediary function that the Club performs at a regional, university-scoped level.
• Universités & Entreprises: National association dedicated to fostering relationships between French higher education institutions and the corporate world — directly parallel to the Club's mission of connecting enterprises with university talent, but at national rather than single-university scope.
• AFIJ: Association for youth professional integration in France, focused on supporting young graduates and students in their career entry — overlapping with the Club's iPro insertion professionnelle, alternance, and mentorship programs.

Broad incumbents

• France Travail (formerly Pôle Emploi): France's national public employment service offering career guidance and intermediation at scale — touches all of the Club's persona segments but with much wider reach and scope, serving as the systemic backdrop against which the Club's niche positioning is defined.
• CCI France: National network of chambers of commerce acting as broader business intermediaries, including enterprise-student connections, training referrals, and economic development — wider scope than the Club but overlapping enterprise-broker function.
• France Universités: National conference of French public universities representing higher education institutions — sits structurally above the Club's single-university focus and shapes the apprenticeship tax and university-enterprise policy context the Club operates in.

Others

• JobTeaser: Technology vendor behind the Club's Career Center platform. JobTeaser sells similar digital career-center infrastructure to many other universities, operating as an ecosystem enabler rather than direct intermediary.

Emerging players

• BGE: National network supporting entrepreneurship and small business creation through mentoring and incubation — overlapping with the Club's "Objectif Entrepreneuriat!" program and its startup ecosystem partnerships.
