In 2025-2026: 60 second-year CPGE students and 70 students from the Toulouse and Montpellier academies, nearly 120 alumni mentors!

Our goal by 2026: to have supported 250 students from the time they start CPGE to the time they pass their competitive entrance exams!

The programme

Tailor-made mentoring

Students receive personalised, one-to-one support from an alumni mentor, depending on their availability and needs. They are supported right up to the competitive entrance exams by an alumnus of one of the schools involved who, thanks to his or her experience, support and listening skills, helps them to answer their questions and confirm their choices. The mentors receive training from experts to provide the best possible support for CPGE students under this scheme.

Immersion courses on campus

During their 2 years of CPGE, students are welcomed on campus four times. These placements are an opportunity to :

discover the campuses of higher education establishments,
talk to former CPGE students and professionals with inspiring backgrounds,
meet their mentors
consolidate their knowledge and
learn how to manage their CPGE years more effectively.

One-off initiatives

Once a year, an evening meeting with professionals is organised at each partner school.

7 partner high schools for 2024-2025

For this new academic year, we are continuing our commitment by opening 70 places in 2025 to first-year CPGE students from 7 schools in the Toulouse and Montpellier academies:

Lycées Déodat de Séverac, Pierre de Fermat and Bellevue in Toulouse,
Lycées Théophile Gautier and Jean Dupuy in Tarbes,
Lycée Joffre in Montpellier,
Lycée Alfonse Daudet in Nîmes

In addition to OSE inGÉ, today OSE l’ISAE-SUPAERO also means every year: 1,100 secondary school pupils benefiting, 36 schools in the Toulouse and Montpellier academies, more than 120 ISAE-SUPAERO students volunteering, more than 2,500 secondary school pupils met, and numerous projects.

It was Supaero that gave me my wings. Giving these young people a chance and giving them a little extra motivation is the best thing we can do.

Actions throughout the year

All the activities are carried out throughout the school year by volunteer students from ISAE-SUPAERO, who each year initiate a wide range of educational activities using their knowledge and expertise!

Tutoring, local support

In the current climate, many young people need support with their schooling. The ISAE SUPAERO OSE programme offers weekly face-to-face tutoring sessions in 4 secondary schools in Toulouse.

From November to June, the students share their methodological tools and their scientific knowledge with around a hundred secondary school students from the second to the final year of secondary school, in the context of three-hour weekly sessions.

Long-distance tutoring is also offered to overcome the isolation of students from rural areas and those with reduced mobility.

Read more on this subject: Samuel Falcou , a 20-year-old student in his 2nd year (class of 2024) of the ISAE-SUPAERO general engineering course, and Tristan Ducéré, a 17-year-old student in his final year at Lycée Toulouse-Lautrec.

Loris Lanjou, final-year student at ISAE-SUPAERO

Meeting young people, talking to them about the different paths they can take in their studies, deconstructing stereotypes about higher education, coaching them for important exams, answering their questions about their choice of course and simply sharing great moments with them have been my main activities with OSE l'ISAE-SUPAERO during my years at the Institute!

The ISAE-SUPAERO OSE programme is sponsored by former ISAE-SUPAERO engineering students!

Thomas Pesquet, ESA astronaut

Thomas joined ISAE-SUPAERO after an MPSI preparatory class in Rouen.

After working for several years at CNES, he became an airline pilot. In 2009, he was selected by ESA to train as an astronaut.

His first mission to the International Space Station took place in November 2016.

” For me, getting involved with OSE l’ISAE SUPAERO is first and foremost about showing solidarity. I feel I’ve received a lot in life, because my parents and teachers gave me the greatest gift of all: education, and now it’s my turn to share it.

It’s important that everyone should have the same opportunities: girls and boys, from all backgrounds and origins, with disabilities or with difficulties at school. Everyone can make a contribution.

My role as a sponsor is first and foremost to tell the children that anything is possible, that you can achieve your dreams, and that even if you don’t achieve them, simply doing your best to try will inevitably get you somewhere.

I want to pass on to them my conviction that we shouldn’t be afraid of the future and that life in a country like ours is full of opportunities; the worst thing that could happen would be not to try, to seize them for lack of confidence or information.”

The Earth is the cradle of humanity, but you don’t spend your whole life in a cradle. –Tsiolkovski

Ines Belgacem, Doctor of Planetology

Inès joined ISAE SUPAERO in 2012 after two years of preparatory classes in Physics and Chemistry.

She is currently a planetologist at ESA.

” Schemes like OSE are a particular opportunity for all the students they supervise to come into contact with a world to which they would not necessarily have access otherwise. OSE and, in particular, the dialogue with the students enable them to discover new things and to be supported in their projects in a spirit of openness, sharing and solidarity.

I therefore see my role as sponsor as a privileged relationship with the students supervised by OSE to encourage them to pursue their projects, whatever they may be, and to show them that the greatest barriers we face are often those we impose on ourselves, that we can all go beyond them and that the game is definitely worth the candle!

People build too many walls and not enough bridges. – Newton

Sophie Adenot, astronaut at ESA

Sophie graduated from ISAE-SUPAERO in 2004.

She is a helicopter test pilot and now an ESA astronaut.

” My motivation for this commitment is to give a little boost of motivation: to all the young people who are still hesitating to embark on the adventure of aeronautics, to those who put barriers in their way before they have even tried, to those who have tried and who need a little more support, to those who, because they are disabled, think that the aeronautical community cannot offer them a small place.

My role as godmother is to talk to the young people and their teachers/mentors, to answer their questions, and to help them launch a career in science and aeronautics“.

It’s not because things are difficult that we don’t dare, it’s because we don’t dare that they are difficult. –Seneca

Matthieu Ponin-Ballom, fighter pilot

Matthieu first joined the Ecole de l’Air in Salon de Provence, where he became a pilot.

In 2014, he graduated from ISAE SUPAERO. He is now studying at the war school in Lourdes.

” Every year, the OSE association sponsors hundreds of young people and encourages them not to set themselves limits that would be due to their origin, social condition or disability. This essential action to promote equal opportunities for young people is underpinned by the values of cohesion, sharing and surpassing oneself, which are also very dear to the Air Force and the basis of our commitment. The honour of becoming a sponsor of the programme is a very strong link through which I hope to continue, with all the team involved in the adventure, to promote these values that unite us “.

The future is only ever the present to be put in order, you don’t have to foresee it, but to allow it. –Antoine de Saint-Exupéry

At ISAE-SUPAERO, thanks to the support of our institutional, industrial and association partners, we are committed to ensuring educational equity and better professional integration for everyone!

GIFAS (French aerospace industry association)

A word from Philippe Dujaric, Director of Social Affairs and Training

” Promoting the engineering professions to a wide audience of secondary school students in all regions is a core concern for GIFAS and has been a permanent and important focus of our partnership with the ISAE-SUPAERO Group and the ISAE-SUPAERO Foundation since its inception. The awareness-raising and discovery initiatives developed with perseverance and professionalism throughout the Occitanie region by ISAE-SUPAERO teachers and students on a voluntary basis are exemplary in this respect. They also reflect GIFAS’s concern to maintain real social diversity in aeronautical schools, and therefore in the future generations of engineers who will join our industry. I would like to thank all those involved in the OSE programme, ISAE-SUPAERO and the ISAE-SUPAERO Foundation, for fulfilling this mission with enthusiasm and efficiency throughout the year.

Meeting with Bertrand Joab-Cornu

You co-founded the start-up Wingly while you were still a student at ISAE-SUPAERO. Tell us about this entrepreneurial adventure...

I studied engineering at ISAE-SUPAERO, graduating in 2016. Passionate about aeronautics and entrepreneurship, I took a double-diploma with École Polytechnique in Innovation Technology and Entrepreneurship. At the time, the collaborative economy was exploding with start-ups like BlaBlaCar and Airbnb. On the benches of ISAE-SUPAERO, I already had the idea of a co-piloting platform based on the same principle. At X I met my future partner, Emeric de Waziers, who had also had the idea on his own, and we launched Wingly in 2015. There was a niche to be filled and it worked really, really well!

Wingly is 10 years old and this year marks an important stage in its development. Can you tell us more about it?

We have been able to cope with the crises of recent years and the company is doing well. There are currently 25,000 private pilots registered on the platform, with more than 120,000 passengers in flight. We have also just passed the €40 million mark in sales volume. This year, we opened up to low-carbon aviation through partnerships with seven flying clubs that own an electric aircraft. We also closed a €3.5m fund-raising round with the aim of achieving profitability by 2025 and embarking on new projects. We also opened up our capital through a crowdfunding campaign on the Crowdcube platform, to get our community involved.

Wingly, the BlaBlaCar of the skies.
Europe’s leading flight-sharing platform, Wingly offers shared-cost flights between a private pilot and one or more passengers. 450,000 members are registered on this digital platform. The Paris-based company employs 20 people and offers its services in several European countries, including Germany, the UK, Switzerland, Austria and France.

What is the medium-term outlook?

Currently, use of the platform is focused on leisure flights: 90% of our passengers take local trips and the remaining 10% take day trips. But Wingly has a real role to play in regional mobility, where there is no alternative to the car, especially as companies developing low-carbon aviation are positioning themselves in this niche. We also hope to launch in other countries, notably the United States, if regulations change.

What advice would you give to ISAE-SUPAERO students who would like to become entrepreneurs during their studies as you did?

The first piece of advice I would give is to trust yourself and your idea! And then go out and test it, without wasting too much time working out the perfect business plan or a finished prototype.

Les Entretiens de l'Excellence" event

ISAE-SUPAERO has been hosting the Entretiens de l’Excellence for 13 years. This event, organised by the association “Les Entretiens de l’Excellence”, is part of the Institute’s active commitment to equal opportunities and a continuation of the actions of the Cordée de la réussite OSE l’ISAE-SUPAERO. The 7th edition was held on the ISAE-SUPAERO campus on January 17th.

Over the course of the day, 800 secondary school students were able to meet 90 volunteer professional speakers, representing around twenty different sectors of activity (aeronautics, space, art, law, science and technology, commerce, environment and sustainable development, etc.).

The speakers shared their backgrounds, experiences and information about the different sectors and professions. Middle and high school students were also able to attend two themed workshops of their choice. For their part, parents were able to take part in workshops on careers guidance and ParcourSup run by the rectorat and local associations.

This year’s sponsor was Allan Petre, a recent graduate on placement at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory. Nearly 50 students from ISAE-SUPAERO, UPSSITECH and TBS took part as volunteers. A great show of solidarity for equal opportunities!

This edition of the Entretiens de l’Excellence was made possible by OSE, ISAE-SUPAERO / INP / INSA / TBS / Paul Sabatier / Mines d’Albi, the partners who ran the parents’ workshops: Rectorat de Toulouse, Pro Avenir Jeunes, JobIRL, TutoWeb Toulouse, Université de Toulouse, and the sponsor of the 2024 edition, Airbus Protect.

Meeting with Tristana Bujia and Jean-Baptiste Brun

Can you introduce yourself?

Tristana: My name is Tristana and I’m 19. I’m currently doing a preparatory course in Physics, Chemistry and Engineering Sciences (PCSI) and in my second year I’m going to do a PC. I want to become an engineer (probably in chemistry).

Jean-Baptiste: I’m 30 years old and graduated from ISAE-SUPAERO in 2016 after two years of preparatory classes in MP at Lycée Charlemagne, Paris 4E. In engineering school, I chose to focus on energy, transport and the environment. At the end of my studies, I wanted to get away from the isolation of engineering school and work as close as possible to industrial production, and that’s what I did when I joined Air France Industries, the entity in charge of aircraft maintenance for Air France and its customers.

Why did you want to take part in the OSE Ingé scheme?

Tristana: I was offered the chance to take part in this programme and I thought it would be a great opportunity to meet engineers, as I didn’t have any around me. What’s more, we had the chance to visit an engineering school as well as Jean-Baptiste’s workplace to see what his job might be like. I wanted to be able to talk to someone who had followed a similar career path to the one I want to follow.

Jean-Baptiste: I’ve been very lucky throughout my time at school to be encouraged, guided and also well informed about the different choices I’ve had to make, and it’s only fair that I should be able to offer support, listen and share my experiences with students who are following a similar path and may be experiencing the same doubts and even frustrations. The preparatory classes are two years that are rich intellectually but can be emotionally trying and support, however occasional, can make more difference than an extra hour spent on a physics exercise. The involvement I’ve had allows me to be useful, I hope, to people who may need it. The idea wasn’t to be a performance coach to boost grades or to define a strategy for the different deadlines of the two years, but rather to be a listening ear and unfailing support, whether to aim for one of the top-ranked schools or to change direction if the preparatory classes weren’t suitable.

Can you describe your work together?

Tristana: We don’t really work together because the aim is not to revise courses. We’ve seen each other just under once a month this year to discuss our feelings about the preparatory classes and we’ve exchanged ideas on various subjects, such as how the preparatory classes work and how they’re organised, life in engineering school, ecology, etc.

Jean-Baptiste: The first thing was to define a way of working between us, even if it meant adjusting it. We saw each other physically or virtually once every two months or so, and exchanged messages from time to time, although it was difficult to be present and available without being intrusive, because that’s the last thing I would have wanted in his place. During these meetings, we talked about her daily life, her difficulties, the life of a student in a preparatory class. I’d share my memories of my two years of preparatory classes, but I’d also take care to talk about lighter subjects. At the same time, I tried to help out in other ways, such as finding contacts for the TIPE or organising a visit to my workplace with other mentees and classmates.

What did you learn from the Ose Ingé scheme?

Tristana: I learnt how the preparatory engineering school system works and visiting my mentor’s workplace gave me a better idea of what was possible after my studies. It’s an interesting system that gives you a different view from that of your teachers or specialisms, because the mentor has a fresher experience with a certain distance and experience of the world of work.

Jean-Baptiste: I’m not in the best position to answer that question, as I only had a support role. However, I think I found the right position and established a relationship of trust with Tristana. If that’s the case and our discussions have helped her at least once, hopefully more, then it’s been a success. The scheme is positive because of the opportunities it offers students for support and for sharing experiences. It’s also a challenge for the mentors, most of whom have a classic engineer’s mentality of trying to solve problems. And sometimes, as mentors, we don’t have to provide solutions, but simply listen and share our experience. It’s not very natural, but it happens in the end. If I had to do it all over again, I’d do it without hesitation.

What is your best memory?

Tristana: My best memory was visiting Jean-Baptiste’s workplace and also the day when we played sport at the CREPS with all the mentees and a few mentors.

Jean-Baptiste: I remember a session in the first half of the year where I had the impression that the discussion helped to play down the situation Tristana was in and to gain a bit of perspective. She didn’t have all the keys to success in the prep school after that but I think she was able to think about something else and have a bit of peace of mind, for a few days or a few hours. And that’s already a good start.
