French term or phrase: la vie en société
The phrase is at the end.

I can't come up with a good translation.... I think the literal translation is just too literal.

Les apports que j’ai tiré de cette expérience professionnelle peuvent être regroupés autour de 3 idées principales :
Les compétences acquises, les difficultés rencontrées, les solutions apportées ainsi que la vie en société.

The benefits I took from this professional experience can be grouped into three main areas: skills acquired, difficulties encountered, solutions contributed as well as *******.

  -> Thank you, Canola :)
agree  Sheila Wilson: I'd plump for the interactions, personally as it sounds more professional (social life is more partying, don't you think?)

  -> Thank you, Sheila :)
agree  Beila Goldberg: Comme Sheila, un type de faux-amis ...

  -> Thank you, Beila. And good point, ladies. Social life does have a less professional ring to it :)
agree  Layla de Chabot: definitely not social life but social interactions sounds ok to me

  -> thank you, layla :)
agree  Allison Wright (X): I would alter "solutions contributed" to "solutions found" or "solutions applied". Also, now you have a list of 4 things, not three. Perhaps start your sentence with, "Apart from social interaction, the benefits I took from..."

social networking


Explanation:
I wonder if this would work here, or a different view could possibly be life experience, as in growing personally from experiencing a particular challenge

life within a company


Explanation:
If the website below is your context, I believe this means daily life within the company. It looks like an internship report.
