As part of the extracurricular activities organised at the National School of Applied Sciences of Oujda, the Students Without Borders club, in collaboration with the Ignite student office, will organise the Ignite of Oujda next Saturday (12 May). A fun activity in the form of an international competition where participants have five minutes to orally promote a subject illustrated by about twenty slides, in a single audience. Each slide is displayed for fifteen seconds with continuous and automated scrolling. Ignite allows speakers to get noticed and influence their audiences in a few minutes. Implicitly, it is about being able to promote a concept, an idea and to raise awareness and stimulate the reflection and action of the public. In short, it is an event that will allow students as well as professionals to promote their projects, their ideas and their passions while highlighting their talents as insightful speakers. "The Ignite that we are going to organise responds to a major concern of our school, which consists of its opening to the professional world thanks to a policy based, on the one hand, on the agreements signed with professional actors within the framework of the training-employment compromise, and on the other hand, on the events organised by student engineers in the form of forums, workshops, seminars and international congresses, etc.," explains Imane Essebaa, member of the organising committee. Such an initiative also aims to bring together several speakers (ten at most), engineers, young entrepreneurs, as well as students to share ideas, experiences and projects. "Our major objective is to facilitate contact and share bookish knowledge and daily practice between students and professionals. The finality being to allow the student engineer to refine his entrepreneur profile so that he can convince during his job interview and gain the experience required in his quest for employment. Likewise, it is an experience that will provide the entrepreneur with a future engineer capable of achieving the objectives set by the company he manages in terms of profitability and gain," underlines the description prepared by the student organisers.
