"Since 2008, the year-long Renault Immobilier training program has been recruiting around twenty people, mainly from Renault's real estate department, often with industrial backgrounds. The aim is to provide them with general real estate training, raising their awareness of the issues and risks involved in decisions affecting industrial and commercial real estate, while at the same time imparting the necessary technical skills"

With a faculty of more than 130 professors spread across four campuses, ESSEC aims to “Enlighten, Lead and Change” our world, to create more value, and to make it more sustainable, inclusive and fair.

This is achieved by recruiting the best international professors and supporting research that enhance ESSEC’s impact as a world-class academic institution to inform public debate, and, more specifically, shaping the transformation of organizations.

Depending on your objectives and needs, we create unique development programs, from managerial transformation projects to specialized or general management programs; modules that are customized or built around a specific area of expertise. A catalog of more than  60 masterclasses has also been developed to help companies broaden their understanding so that they can face the growing complexity of our world. We strive to empower learners so they are capable of making informed decisions in a world of information overload thanks to reliable and up-to-date knowledge. These masterclasses are an overview of ESSEC’s knowledge and research.

"Over the past decade, my role has involved overseeing programs tailored for doctors, department heads, and hospital directors, focusing primarily on research in the hospital sector. Having a sound understanding of their needs, I work hand in hand with the hospital’s management, HR professionals, and prospective participants to develop customized programs. Department heads, in particular, often lack formal management training despite their considerable responsibilities. To bridge this gap, we designed a unique training program, delivered both by ESSEC professors and Foch Hospital managers, complemented with collaborative development sessions and personalized coaching. The program’s content, pacing, and evolution over time are tailored to meet the unique specific needs of each new cohort of participants. "

"We worked with ESSEC for the Homo Faber Fellowship, a program designed to support graduates of the fine crafts sector in transmitting their skills and taking their first steps in the crafts and arts industry. Participants shared that the ESSEC masterclass helped significantly in their understanding of design and business aspects, offering tangible benefits to small craft enterprises. It served as a source of inspiration and motivation while boosting their confidence in the operational management of their business."

In 1991, ESSEC had the privilege of jointly creating its first ever learning and research Chair in partnership with LVMH, the longest-standing program worldwide, dedicated to training young talent for careers in the luxury industry.

The birth of the ESSEC Academy of Luxury in Asia Pacific is founded upon our rich tradition in luxury management research, knowledge, and insights blended with academic excellence. The Academy is uniquely focused on developing talent and creating a forum of expertise and exchange in the Asia-Pacific region in the practices of luxury management.

The Professional Certificate in Luxury Management, launched in June 2023, is the first of its kind in Asia. It is designed to empower professionals tasked to build lasting customer relationships with luxury customers or premiumize their brands or product/service offerings. This signature program weaves both academic and experiential elements to bring about a unique learning journey for executives serving clients in the ultra-luxury sector.

The first few runs of this program concluded successfully with nine out of ten participants stating they would recommend this program to others. The program has attracted executives and leaders not just from the luxury goods and services industries but also from banking, financial planning, property, printing, design, sales, and marketing. This five-day program will be conducted in Singapore twice yearly.

In addition, in 2024, the ESSEC Academy of Luxury APAC will also offer specialized tracks in luxury: “Fine Wines & Spirits”, “Luxury Hospitality” and “Luxury Retail”.
