The EDHEC Galaxy - Alumni

 

EDHEC's extensive programme portfolio covers the whole range of company needs for management staff and provides students with a wide range of options to meet their career aspirations.

There are more than 18,000 professionals around the world who have graduated from the Edhec Business School campus, whether from the ESPEME, EDHEC Grande Ecole, M.Sc. or MBA programmes. Given their differing professional aspirations and the diverse characteristics of the programme units, the alumni are highly complementary in terms of the responsibilities they take on.

 

A Powerful Network of 18 000

On leaving EDHEC Business School graduates automatically become life-members of the EDHEC Alumni Association.  This powerful network of over 18,000 alumni working in more than 103 countries contributes to developing EDHEC's reputation worldwide and enhances its relationships with the global business community.   EDHEC graduates are able to rely on the help and services of the Alumni Society, an association that is at the heart of EDHEC's reputation.

 

A Valuable Source of Information

This thriving network of professionals, including corporate executives from every industry, entrepreneurs and consultants is one of the largest in France. 

Its members, throughout their careers, enjoy a wealth of benefits and activities including a career's service with counselling and job offers, continuing education and professionally-themed meetings with like-minded people.  All members receive the annual Directory of EDHEC Alumni with precious information such as the companies and positions held by EDHEC graduates.  The EDHEC Alumni Network offers real aid in terms of services and helps to create synergies between students and alumni through  professional clubs and learning communities.  These reunions allow alumni to gain and share insights affecting their organizations, industries and communities.

The EDHEC Alumni Association's Three Main Objectives


1)  To ensure a permanent link between the different Edhec communities and generations, at regional, national and international level (Through regular newsletters such as Lettre du Réseau and Trajectoires magazine, etc...)


2)  To encourage mutually profitable networking for personal and professional projects through the co-ordination of the alumni network.


3)  To support EDHEC alumni in their professional career path, in particular through the CV database that can be accessed by recruitment agencies, and by posting over 17,000 job offers online every year.
