The ESPEME, which is celebrating its twentieth anniversary this year, is a Bachelor program aimed at young high school graduates and prepares them, over four years, to assume management roles, to take responsibility for activity or profit centers, in SMEs as well as in large corporations.
On Saturday, April 18, 2009, the Nice Acropolis Palace will host the traditional graduation ceremony for the 2008 ESPEME class, followed by a Gala dinner in a “Jazz and Blues” ambiance. The student association EVENTS, which organizes this Gala, has particularly taken care in making this evening a significant highlight that brings together students, professors, school staff, businesses, and institutional representatives from the region.
In 20 years, ESPEME has become one of the most sought-after post-high school programs, ranked in the top 5 schools after high school by various student rankings in France for several years now. More than 2,500 ESPEME alumni put their talents to use in companies in France and abroad. Two significant figures: 29% of the 2008 class started their careers abroad; 95% of ESPEME alumni obtained a job within four months of graduating in 2008!
Finally, ESPEME is undeniably focused on entrepreneurship: More than 11% of ESPEME graduates create their own business. These figures place ESPEME among the most professionalizing four-year schools and as the leading school for business creators. This year, Sandrine Dufour, a former Espeme Nice alum from the 1996 class and Regional Director of Bouygues Immobilier for the Côte d’Azur region, will be the patron of the class and will lead a roundtable discussion on starting a business.
New momentum, new challenges… The 20th anniversary of ESPEME is also marked by the creation of a new 43,000 m2 campus in Croix and the expansion of the Nice campus, covering nearly 3000 m2.
