Testimonial
« I did a STAE (Science and Agronomy and Environmental Technologies) Baccalaureate in the Mirecourt Agricultural School in the Vosges before I arrived at the ENIL. I liked the agricultural courses, where I think that the teachers have a special kind of interaction with the students. I chose the ENIL to do the GEMEAU course, and to return to agricultural teaching. I liked the relationships between the students, but also with the teachers (almost like a small family). 90% of the students found a position within 6 months. I think that this is a rewarding course, leading to real professional opportunities"
