The latest edition of the Forum EDHEC took place in Paris in early January. This large-scale recruitment fair is organised by the School’s corporate relations team and designed to bring students and corporate partners together.  Some 460 professionals (HR and operational staff) from 110 companies (Auchan Retail France, Ardian, BNP Paribas, Bouygues Telecom, Deloitte, KPMG France, Onepoint, PWC, Microsoft, LVMH, Mars, EY, Renault, Vinci, etc.) were there to offer students over 650 internships, jobs, VIE international internships, apprenticeships and graduate programmes.  

As part of its partnership with the Les Entretiens de l’Excellence not-for-profit association, 28 January saw EDHEC Business School’s Lille campus plays host to the fourth edition of the Tournées de l’Excellence, an annual event designed to give secondary students an insight into career opportunities and help guide their choices in the area.
