Transversal Skills portfolio

We pool the efforts of the different EPFL stakeholders to prepare students for their careers through their cursus and through a range of extra-curricular activities related to their future professional life.

The mission of the Transversal Skills and Career Center is to ensure EPFL becomes a career-ready campus, through close collaboration with faculty, staff, student associations, industry and university partners, as well as EPFL alumni. We work to provide all EPFL students opportunities to develop transversal skills needed to become successful leaders in their field.
