ISCOM

In a school that trains future communicators, knowing how to convince or create is not enough. You also need to know Talk about yourself, to be part of a collective, to understand what we bring.

However, many students don't have the bearings or the words to Express their soft skills.

This is why ISCOM wanted to:

• Suggest a reliable frame to identify human skills,
• help its students prepare for internship and work-study interviews,
• accompany them in a concrete awareness of their potential.

‍

“We wanted a tool that was credible, actionable, but also very accessible for students.

The Rising Up approach convinced us with its rigor, its dynamic format and its ease of use.”

— Caroline, director of ISCOM Paris

ISCOM selected Rising Up for three fundamental reasons:

• One neuroscience-based approach and the analysis of cognitive functioning,
• The use of artificial intelligence to generate fine and personalized analyses,
• A positioning radically different from traditional personality tests (MBTI type), often static and not adaptive.
  

Here, the test is scalable, interactive, and connected to a concrete development path, which makes it a useful tool over the long term.

‍

The program took place in three key stages:

1. Personalized assessment via the Soft Skills Scan

Each student completed a 45-minute test on THE LAB platform, based on:

• one reference list of 25 key competencies,
• Of immersive situations,
• Of AI algorithms analyzing responses, without declarative bias.
  

Result: one clear and graphic report with performance, ease and development indicators.

2. Educational perspective

Group workshops were conducted to allow students to:

• formulate their skills accurately,
• make the link between their results and their professional project,
• prepare a credible and impactful personal presentation for recruiters.

3. Access to a targeted training path

Each student was able to follow short and interactive modules, according to their areas of progress:

• creativity, interpersonal communication, stress management, leadership, etc.
• with video content, quizzes, challenges, self-reflections

‍

“I understood that I was less patient than I thought I would be. And now I know that I can work on it.”

“It was a test like no other. It was clear, quick, and I came away with something useful for future interviews.”

“I went out with concrete words to talk about my human skills. That's what I was missing.”

Instead of a generic feedback, each student leaves with a targeted, mobilisable analysis in their resume, pitch or applications.

‍

• Students have a potential often underestimated, for lack of reading framework.
• The program acts as a trigger for trust.
• The results allow individualized support, but also a Overall reading of a promotion.
• It is also a strategic tool for teaching teams : follow-up, orientation, differentiation.

“We co-built this program with Rising Up. It is integrated into our pedagogy, in our logic of innovation.

And some of it... we keep it for ourselves and our students.”
