92% Employment for the Class of 2023 Within 5 Months of Graduation

The 2024 job placement survey highlights the speed at which engineers graduating from ENSAI in 2023 found their first job. Across all indicators, including salaries and type of contract, the results were positive. 

The results show once again that ENSAI engineering graduates can capitalize on a scientific and operational education that meets companies’ needs. Nationally, the 32nd job placement survey conducted by the Conférence des grandes écoles (CGE) confirms the resilience of the “Grande école model” and its appeal to employers in a more difficult and lackluster economic climate than in recent years following the health crisis. 

Great employment conditions 

Job search times are short: 92.1% of positions are found within two months of graduation, and 79.4% before graduation. 

Nearly half of employed graduates (48.3%) claim to have found a job thanks to their end-of-study internship, proof that the ENSAI brand remains a reliable choice for companies. 

Nine out of ten employed graduates have permanent contracts. What are the job titles of the class of 2023 engineers? Data analyst, risk analyst, data engineer, biostatistician, data manager, research engineer, machine learning engineer… One position stands out, representing 37% of hires: Data Scientist. 86% of employed graduates are satisfied or very satisfied with their position. 

Average ENSAI salaries are above the average salary of graduates from all engineering schools 

The strong demand for data science specialists ensures that salaries remain at a very high level: at 46,742 € gross per year (in France, with bonuses), ENSAI graduates in 2023 are almost 5250 € above the average salary for engineers. 

The job placement survey for new graduates: a reference for Grandes Écoles 

Since 1993, the survey conducted by the Conférence des grandes écoles has provided a set of indicators to evaluate the match between the education offered by the grandes écoles and the job market. Coordinated and supervised by ENSAI on behalf of the CGE, the survey is carried out by the schools themselves during the first quarter and describes the career paths of the last three graduating classes.
