ESSEC Companies and partners: Apprenticeship programs


Access to apprenticeship status at ESSEC is available upon student request. Many types of work-study schedules are possible. Development objectives are determined for the students, and an international experience (study or professional) is required of all apprentices.

The programs


Starting in 1993, ESSEC implemented a training program through apprenticeship in five programs: the ESSEC MBA, the Advanced Master’s Program in International Business Law and Management, the Advanced Master’s Program in Information Systems and Telecommunication Networks, the IMHI Hospitality MBA and EPSCI.

Student access to apprenticeships


Students are admitted to the apprenticeship program by the Apprenticeship Training Center ("Centre de formation des apprentis - CFA"), following an evaluation of their application. Admission criteria include : student motivation, a commitment to apprenticeship objectives, and difficulty in financing studies.
Only students under 26 years of age may apply.

Types of work-study


Alternating between ESSEC and the company can be organized on a weekly, quarterly, or half-yearly basis. The minimum accepted is two school-company moves. The different types of work-study schedules are mandatory or negotiable depending on the program. The company must specify the demands of the mission; the apprentice must inform the company of program constraints. The School then informs the company and the apprentice of the academic requirements.

Students’ academic program


Apprentices must meet the same academic obligations as other students. They must conform to the rules and regulations of their program of study.

A gold standard in managerial skills proposed by ESSEC Business School


During their studies, apprentices must achieve the level of professionalism of a young manager in 10 areas. The company must help them develop the following skills : interpersonal communication, ability to transmit information, persuasion, entrepreneurship, work organization, conceptualization, problem solving, creativity, customer focus, and team building.
