A study carried out in collaboration with the Office de la Vie Étudiante on the professional future of the isdaT students demonstrated a high graduate employability rate, ranging between 80% and 85% thirty months after obtaining their Master’s degree.

A graduate employability survey is regularly carried out with our students. According to the results obtained, dance and music graduates who hold a degree are quickly able to find long-term positions corresponding to their field of education.

The nature of their contracts (many public service contracts for music and private sector contracts for dance) reflects the demands of the professional sector.

The different employment opportunities available can be broken down as follows:

After a Master’s Degree in Music (DNSP de musicien)

• regular employment, such as a position in a professional ensemble (symphony orchestra, chamber orchestra, or other form of ensemble);
• occasional employment, which is quite common in the professional musical environment. Musicians can be hired by a structure whose distribution is not the main activity, or as part of a distribution project with a limited duration ( ex: festival, creation of a work through a short-term program, etc.) ;
• production or coordination in various music distribution structures, record companies, concerts, festivals, etc. ;
  Specialised teaching job (for those who obtain the double degree DE-DNSPM);
• cultural mediation.

After a Master’s Degree in Music Education/Dance Education (DE de professeur de musique ou de danse)

• specialised assistant for artistic education in the public sector;
• professor or facilitator of the associative sector;
• musician teaching in a school environment (in the case of a double DE / DUMI diploma);
• cultural mediation ;
• regular or occasional employment as a musician, performer or dancer.

The isdaT is clearly identified by the associative schools and conservatories of the Occitanie region as a resource centre in response to their recruitment needs for music and dance teachers. The isdaT acts as a link between young graduates and local employers, whether it is in relation to filling permanent positions, one-off replacements or training actors already in place but not yet graduated through further vocational training and VAE.
