EDHEC Talents
In 2023, EDHEC Business School launched the EDHEC Talents programme, a scheme aimed at high-school students on scholarship - in general, technological or vocational courses - in the Lille area, to guide them in their academic and career choices, introduce them to the ecosystem of a leading business school (international environment, type of teaching, etc.) and encourage them to broaden their cultural horizons.
This project is based around two key events:
- A Summer Boot Camp: an immersion on the EDHEC campus in Lille (with master classes, various workshops, cultural visits, etc.)
- An Annual action programme (with testimonials from professionals, immersion in a programme, etc.).
The aim of EDHEC Talents is to combat the self-censorship of students from disadvantaged backgrounds and social, economic or cultural determinism.
In addition, if the participants in the scheme are subsequently admitted to the EDHEC Pre-Master's competition or accepted into the EDHEC International BBA, they will be able to benefit from specific support during their studies (mentoring of the student by an EDHEC alumnus, personalised monitoring by the student life team, in liaison with the programme management and the student's sponsor, the possibility of receiving tutoring, etc.).
This project is in line with the initiatives undertaken by EDHEC Business School as part of its policy of social openness and diversity, such as Talents Prépas, a coaching programme designed to help scholarship students succeed in preparatory classes for the grandes écoles competitive entrance exams.
