Nuit des Métiers 2026: More than 400 students participated in this major career guidance event

The fourth edition of the Nuit des Métiers et des Formations, organized by the Alliance Française in Santiago, brought together more than 150 professionals, alumni, companies, and universities to support young people as they explore their academic and professional futures.

On Friday, November 6, the Vitacura campus of the Alianza Francesa School of Santiago – Lycée Antoine de Saint-Exupéry hosted another edition of the Nuit des Métiers et des Formations 2026, cementing this event as an important opportunity for career guidance and exposure to the professional world.

The event brought together nearly 400 students from 8th grade through 12th grade at our Vitacura and Chamisero campuses, accompanied by their families, who had the opportunity to learn about different careers, explore higher education options, and speak directly with professionals from various sectors.

The event also featured the participation of a delegation of students from the Lycée Charles de Gaulle in Concepción, who traveled to Santiago specifically to take part in this experience.

A gathering of students, professionals, and universities

More than 150 professionals, alumni, and representatives from companies and institutions of higher educationshared their career paths, experiences, and knowledge with the students, answering questions and offering advice to help them reflect on their interests and future plans.

Through informal and spontaneous conversations, the young people were able to explore different career paths, learn about the opportunities and challenges of the working world, and broaden their perspectives on the many educational options available to them.

This experience serves as a valuable complement to the guidance work carried out by our school, promoting our students’ independence, curiosity, and ability to make informed decisions about their future.

The fourth edition was held with the support of the French-Chilean Chamber of Commerce and Industry (CCI France Chili) and the French Foreign Trade Advisory Committee (CCE), whose collaboration contributed to the success of this initiative.

More than just a career fair, the Nuit des Métiers et des Formations reflects the strength of an educational community that shares knowledge, builds connections, and works together to support its students as they shape their futures.
