The University of Savoie Mont Blanc (USMB) has a strong campus-recruitment and employability system built around its long-standing Club des Entreprises, which connects students directly with companies and institutions. The Club has around 100 member organisations and more than 100 additional partners, with access to over 35,000 professional contacts across the Savoie region. It provides students with more than 1,500 internship opportunities each year through its online career centre and organises events such as the Employment & Business Week, internship and work-study forums, job-dating events, career conferences, mentoring and interview-training sessions.

The university also places strong emphasis on work-study programmes (alternance), internships and company-based projects, enabling students to gain practical experience while studying. Employers can directly publish internship and work-study vacancies through the Club, while students receive personalised preparation for recruitment and professional integration. The Club's network includes organisations such as BNP Paribas, Enedis, EDF, Crédit Agricole des Savoie, Banque de Savoie, Amphenol Socapex, Emerson, Ugitech, Salomon and the Centre Hospitalier Métropole Savoie.

USMB also uses collaborative projects such as PITON, where students work directly with companies on real-world innovation challenges. In the 2026 PITON Awards, participating partners included Salomon, Ugitech, Nicomatic, ENGIE Solutions, EDF, InnovAdapt, Inspyr Studio and the Haute-Savoie Department, giving students practical experience while allowing companies to engage with emerging talent.
