What can the network do for me?

Modified on Fri, 6 Mar at 2:12 PM

From your very first day at ESSEC, you join a network of nearly 70,000 alumni, students and graduates from all over the world and in all sectors, with a wide variety of inspiring backgrounds.

The importance of networking has been proven: today, nearly 70% of jobs are found through networking.

However, there are still many preconceived ideas about networking. Above all, networking is a learning process that takes time.


1. The ESSEC Alumni Association


This network is united and led by the ESSEC Alumni association to create exchange, sharing and mutual aid. 

The general mission of ESSEC Alumni is to help all alumni (students and graduates) to deploy their potential and multiply their impact thanks to collective power.


All the activities and services offered by ESSEC Alumni are structured around 4 strategic pillars:


Support: coach alumni at every stage of their career path, whatever their needs.


Connect: help ESSEC alumni to connect and meet at events in France and abroad, notably through Clubs (professional, leisure, regional) and international Chapters.


Inspire: share the inspiring stories of alumni who radiate ESSEC values (humanism, innovation, responsibility, openness)


Together to Act: encourage ESSECs to act together for the common good (mentoring, solidarity, etc.) and to invent new societal models (environmental and social transition).
