Graduates who immediately entered the workforce...

● Fabien Guillossou, EPSCI graduate and co-founder of Orixa Média

“When I arrived at the ESSEC campus, my goal was to bring my business creation project to life. An entrepreneur at heart, I was very grateful to receive the support provided by ESSEC Ventures and its business incubator, as well as the assistance of the ESSEC Business School’s excellent faculty. The advice and sharing of experiences were essential to me as a young entrepreneur. Today, the company I founded, Orixa Media, has a staff of 10 employees and over 30 active clients.”

● Charlotte De Quay, EPSCI class of 2009

“I opted for an internship, with a view to combining an in-depth professional experience with the internationally oriented training the program provided. This program really opened my perspectives, and my mind – it included an academic exchange in Singapore and a complete immersion in a professional environment: 14 months at Thales Raytheon Systems (TRS). Thanks to this very enriching experience, once I had my diploma in hand I was able to join this company as a sales executive for the NATO zone.”

● François, EPSCI class of 2008

“During my EPSCI program, I opted for an academic exchange because I wanted a significant international experience. I spent six months at the Haskayne School of Business at the University of Calgary in Canada. I then completed a six-month internship at Hachette Filipacchi UK Ltd in London, where I was an advertising procurement assistant for various magazines. Upon graduation, I continued developing my career at the international level by completing a VIE program in Germany. While I was already fluent in German, this program helped me to obtain an initial position with a high level of responsibility. These experiences helped me acquire a very international profile.”

● Nicolas, EPSCI class of 2008

“I did my end-of-program internship at McDonald’s France. At the end of my internship, I was offered a position as product manager. I am now in charge of restaurant entertainment and merchandising. This position was attractive for several reasons: the quality and excellent reputation of the company, the assignment offered, prospects for later positions and a €37,000 annual salary with €8,000 in bonuses (in 2008).”

Graduates who chose to continue their studies...

● Sandra Marichal Ragot, EPSCI class of 2009

“I am very glad I attended the EPSCI program, which gave me four unforgettable years and represented an ideal stepping-stone to a brilliant international career. EPSCI allowed me to apply the theory I had learned throughout my education in internships at companies. I also did an academic exchange at McGill University in Montreal, where I specialized in organizational strategy, learning from some of the best professors in this area. Now an ESSEC Business School alumnus, I am currently doing a Master’s program in management at the London Business School.

● Sophie, EPSCI class of 2009

“Among all the courses I took in the EPSCI program, I quickly developed a preference for marketing. This is why, after completing a one-year university exchange in Dublin, I chose mainly marketing courses and did a six-month internship in web marketing in London. I really enjoyed putting the theory into practice in a real-life setting. This confirmed the choice I had made to orient my career towards this area. I therefore decided to specialize in marketing and to continue my studies at ESSEC by doing an Advanced Master’s in Marketing Management.”
