Signing of a partnership agreement between ENSIL-ENSCI and OiEau
Published on 10/25/24
On 11 October, at the symposium for professionals organised during the Grand Lab'Eau, to celebrate 50 years of the Limoges Water & Environment Sector, ENSIL-ENSCI, represented by Mrs AUPETIT-BERTHELEMOT, Director, and OiEau, represented by Mr Tardieu, Managing Director, signed a partnership agreement for a period of 3 years.
ENSIL-ENSCI is the Limoges engineering school that specialises in water and environmental engineering.
This agreement formalises and strengthens a long-standing collaboration. The OiEau Training Centre (CFME) regularly hosts groups of students, and the two entities are working together on various projects.
For several years, OiEau has been supporting our students, either through lectures, teaching or technical projects proposed by OiEau in partnership with the School, which the students carry out throughout the year.
OiEau's teaching platforms in La Souterraine and Limoges are a major asset, enabling demonstrations and practical work to complement the theoretical courses given at the School.
OiEau also contributes to the International Semester by welcoming foreign student engineers as part of a university exchange programme.
Every year, OiEau takes part in the Forum Avenir, the school's annual event, where organisations come to offer internships, professional training contracts and jobs to engineering students and graduates.
And because an agreement is a two-way street, ENSIL-ENSCI promotes OiEau within the school, not only to students in Environmental Engineering, but more generally in all its courses. And whenever OiEau needs trainees, apprentices or others, we promote its requests to our students.

OiEau's strengths include its platforms, which complement those of the ENSIL-ENSCI, and its relationships with companies and local authorities, which enable our students to be in contact with the professional world. This proximity to the field is also an opportunity to develop projects together.
We are in the process of setting up an initial apprenticeship training (Formation Initiale sous Statut d'Apprentice - FISA), which is due to open in 2027. The idea is to have partners who are close to us to help us develop the content and have them as lecturers, and also to host students on this course. OiEau is an important partner in this project.
This partnership also enables OiEau to make itself known to our students, who will be professionals in the future and will need to upgrade their knowledge through continuing education, as OiEau offers. It's a win-win situation, where we learn from each other.
And then, more generally, there's the recognition of the water sector in the broadest sense of the term, initial and continuing training courses, everything that has to do with attracting people to water-related professions, making them discoverable, making them known and giving them the desire to work in these professions.
