Hello everyone!
While autumn is a time for raking up the dead leaves, for ESSCA it's spring when the good news comes thick and fast...
After the rankings and renewals of accreditations and labels, the figures for applications to the Parcoursup' entrance exams were released last night.
For the first time in years, the number of applicants to ESSCA 's competitive entrance exam is higher than that of IESEG... and significantly so! With an increase of over 21% compared to 2020, nearly 6,700 candidates (vs. 5,355 in 2020) will be attempting to enter our beloved school.
With the number of students in each year remaining stable overall, this is a clear sign of our commitment to excellence. A very positive sign for the future of our community. Also noteworthy is thegrowing appeal of the "new campuses" (notably Lyon and Bordeaux, and to a lesser extent Aix), which are attracting to their catchment areas applicants we would not have had without their creation 4 years ago.
We'll give you the full figures in our next newsletter.
We'll also be putting the spotlight on the association's HR offering, including new features such as online skills assessment.
ESSCA Employment Task Force: Over 200 of you downloaded the profiles of the 22 young 2020 graduates looking for a job. If you missed this mailing, find the file here.
Finally, a round-up of the latest news on workshops, portraits and Club events.
Also worth noting is the launch of an online conference cycle on retail, "An hour with...". 1st opus next Thursday (April 15) with Nicolas Delteil (95) CEO of Nestlé Céréales.
Happy reading!
ESSCA is for life!
