- Career
- Meeting & Events
- Communication & Digital
In 2017, ORAJe has launched a career pole. The objective of the career pole is to allow members to work on their soft skills, improve their attractivity toward recruiters and help them to build their own network inside the ORAJe and USAIRE organizations. Adecco is our main partner in this process. They offer personnalized support through professional workshops, and ORAJe is the ideal network to share internships and job opportunities.
Events, events, always more events ! But we like so much to meet new ORAJe and USAIRE members ! The best way to learn from others, and to get a sistemic vision of Aerospace and Defense industry !
This website is the work of the communication team (work in progress)! We will continue our efforts to improve the notoriety of the USAIRE Student Awards competition and ORAJe Community.
