This summer, 12 scholarship high school and college students joined 200 international students at IÉSEG’s International Summer Program. This initiative gave them the chance to spend two weeks at the heart of a top school, develop new skills, and build their future plans.
IÉSEG continues its commitment to equal opportunities by opening the doors of its Summer Program to 12 young people supported by partner associations Télémaque, ARELI, and Proxité. Thanks to the support of the IÉSEG Foundation and Cofidis Group, who co-finance this initiative alongside the School, the participants received full coverage of their program costs.
Two weeks to learn differently
For fifteen days, these 12 participants from the North and Île-de-France joined the program under the same conditions as other international students. They attended courses in artificial intelligence, sustainable development, digital marketing, and international business, all entirely in English, and earned a certification that adds value to their academic journey.
Meetings with international students, exchanges with teachers, immersion in a multicultural environment… all activities that allowed them to gain confidence, broaden their horizons, and approach their studies with greater peace of mind.
In addition to the lessons, the young people took part in personal development workshops designed to boost their self-confidence, overcome self-censorship, and develop their potential.
A springboard for the future
Feedback from participants highlights the impact of this initiative: 80% of them feel that the program helped them think about their career path. For some, it confirmed their study plans; for others, it allowed them to discover paths and professions they had not considered before. 100% of the young people recommend this program to other high school and college students curious to explore the world of a prestigious school.
