Why become an IETA ?
What is the IETA corps ?
The IETA is one of the French corps of military engineers. Within the French Government defense procurement and technology agency (DGA), which is the leading investor for the French government, they design and lead the major weapons programs.
IETA engineers quickly rise to supervisory and senior positions.
Graduates of the IETA program must commit to working at least 6 years for the French Ministry of the Armed Forces. Their first consulting, design or testing assignments can be in a wide variety of highly innovative fields: cybersecurity, pyrotechnics, hydrography, mechanics, etc.
