"Imitate, assimilate, and then innovate…" Clark Terry, jazz musician.
It is not jazz we are talking about here, but a national challenge organised by the Digital Campus network that pushed Pre-Master's in Digital students to apply these three principles.
Indeed, over the course of just over a week in March, our students competed against each other in teams.
Adult access to vocational training in France is insufficient: 36% compared to 53% in Germany and 60% in the Scandinavian countries. In a world of technological revolutions and rapidly changing professions, this low rate poses a significant risk to everyone's employability and to businesses' competitiveness.
The government has announced a reform of the vocational training system to improve access. One of the announced measures is the creation of a digital application allowing everyone to access their Personal Training Account (CPF — Compte Personnel de Formation).
This is the challenge on which students worked. To do so, competitive intelligence, reverse scheduling, and prototyping became their daily routine for 8 days.
This national challenge truly lived up to its name: while DC Rennes was naturally part of the line-up, the other web schools in the network were equally involved — Bordeaux, Lyon, Montpellier, and Toulouse.
It was therefore the moment for our students to set aside their pride and come together as one to claim victory ^^
