Executive Education for Everyone

ESSEC, a world-class business school with French roots, ranked #8 in Europe by The Financial Times, has a strong legacy spanning over a century. It’s also one of the distinguished global institutions that is triple-crown accredited with AMBA-AACSB-EQUIS recognition. The school certainly knows the meaning of “long term” and believes that it’s never too late to transform your life. ESSEC Executive Education, founded in 1996, embodies that belief with executive education options for professionals of any age and with various levels of experience looking to engage in lifelong learning. Through its range of degree, coaching and certificate programs, ESSEC Executive Education supports the school’s mission to infuse leadership with meaning in the pursuit of a better future; and they do so for early- mid- and late-career professionals looking to level up their skills and knowledge. Overall, all ESSEC and ESSEC Executive Education (EEE) courses aim to empower students to imagine, create, lead and have a positive impact in the business world of tomorrow.

Ranked #5 in executive education programs worldwide, ESSEC Executive Education’s programs echo the ESSEC Business School’s “RISE” strategy, oriented around three key pillars: Together, Enlightening Entrepreneurship, and Metalab. These pillars are human- and entrepreneurship-focused, with an emphasis on innovation, experimentation, and the creation of new business and economic models. ESSEC Executive Education’s offerings are divided into three categories designed to reach diverse candidate profiles. For early- and mid-career professionals, the school proposes a Global MBA program as well as two options for an MSc in Hospitality Management (IMHI), in either a one- or two-year track.

For those at the level of Management & Leadership interested in lifelong learning, the school offers a number of part-time programs so that senior professionals can progress in their careers without hitting pause on their responsibilities. This segment includes the Weekend Executive MBA, the modular ESSEC & Mannheim Executive MBA, the Executive Master in Luxury Management & Design Innovation (EMiLUX) as well as a number of specialized Master’s (mostly available in French) in marketing, real estate and more. For Senior Management and top leaders, ESSEC Executive Education proposes programs like “10,000 Small Businesses,” designed in partnership with Goldman Sachs, intended to give smaller businesses a boost; the General Management program for senior executives; as well as certificates in digital leadership or for Women Board members.

Participants in ESSEC Executive Education programs are nurtured and supported along their lifelong learning journeys, even before day one. From the moment they engage in the process of furthering their education through EEE, they have access to the Talent Center, which helps them choose a program and advance in their career. The support continues long after their graduation, and no matter where in the world they are located. As EEE Sales and Marketing Director, Alexandra Boulade, says:

We are committed to continuous support for our candidates because our mission is above all to stimulate and support their career development projects. We invest in them by offering, for example, a scholarship policy adapted to their profiles because we don’t want pricing to be a constraint in the development of their talents.

Additionally, participants are part of a lifelong network of high-level international alumni. Not only are they members of the ESSEC-wide network of 65,000 graduates worldwide, they also have access to specific, smaller alumni networks from their programs.

In this day in age, being on the world stage means adapting to the needs of a 21st-century community. For ESSEC Executive Education, this not only means providing highly customizable options — and in fact the school is rated #3 worldwide when it comes to customized programs — but also digital ones. While the school has a campus in La Défense, Paris, Europe’s leading business district, and includes modules and residencies around the world, it has also heavily invested in digital learning opportunities to be able to provide high-level remote experiences with the Augmented Digital Campus. EEE’s programs are all up to speed when it comes to distance learning and the implementation of digital tools. As part of a school that promotes “learning by doing,” this executive education institution has learned to adapt by making innovative changes.

With its range of customizable options for professionals at different points in their careers, ESSEC Executive Education is an exemplary institution for those looking to make meaningful professional changes at the executive level. Along with its exceptional participants, EEE is perpetuating the longstanding legacy of the ESSEC Business School and its reputation around the world.
