The student mentorship program is co-managed by ESSEC Career Services and by ESSEC Alumni.
Guided by the ESSEC values of humanism, innovation and excellence, this program aims to help students successfully launch their careers through a supportive, personalized mentorship between ESSEC students and graduates.
With experience in a range of positions in a wide variety of industries and countries under their belts, graduates have a wealth of expertise to offer when it comes to the working world, career paths, organizational structures and industry practices. The diversity of backgrounds of the more than 64,000 graduates from the ESSEC Group means that every student can be assigned a mentor that fits their background and career goals.
The mentoring sessions provide a priceless opportunity for students, allowing them to make the most of their mentor's experience in order to enhance their professional project thanks to moments of sharing and transmission.
Graduates, now is the time to sign up to be a mentor so you can become part of this community of more than 180 mentors where knowledge is shared across generations!

MENTORING BY ESSEC IN 3 QUESTIONS
The objective is to have 3 or 4 exchanges over a period of 6 months between the student and his/her mentor. Each duo is free to organize their dialogue as they wish (telephone, video, email, face-to-face meetings). In order to facilitate the discussions, the MENTORING by ESSEC platform has a dedicated online messaging system and a videoconferencing feature, which also allows for follow-up by the Career Services and ESSEC Alumni teams.
