Groupe Renault Corporate Foundation and ESSEC Business School on Tuesday announced the launch of a programme of excellence in the digital field for the next academic year to contribute to the training of future leaders in the digital transformation of companies.
Within the Specialised Master® Strategy & Management of International Business (SMIB), this professional advanced learning emphasises the development of skills for young graduates to drive a 360° digital transformation, from customer data to the digitalisation of the supply chain, services and production, in an international and multicultural environment. It will also strengthen the students’ knowledge in complementary fields: strategy, management, international trade, marketing and international finance.
As part of this partnership, ESSEC Business School will host a cohort each year, including 15 to 18 scholarship students selected by the School and Renault Foundation through its network of foreign partner universities.
The Renault Foundation will offer selected scholarship students:
– Financing of school fees and social insurance.
– A monthly grant for accommodation and food expenses.
– The organisation and financing of a study trip to Europe and a Group Renault discovery seminar.
– A financial contribution towards the cost of transport between the country of origin and the campus.
Deputy General Manager of the ESSEC Business School in charge of pre-experience programmes, Felix Papier, said, “The Renault Foundation’s social commitments for the access to education in many countries are values that we have shared at ESSEC for many years now, particularly through our initiatives within the Centre Egalité des Chances.
“But this partnership is also a unique opportunity for us to offer our students the ability to enrich their skills, beyond international management, in technological, digital and mobility management, which will help to make them the leaders of tomorrow in their organisations. With the Renault Foundation, we have built a unique path that draws on several components: managerial, societal, economic, entrepreneurial, and digital.”
On his part, Director of the Renault Foundation, Oliver Faust, said, “With the digital transformation of companies and the emergence of the connected and autonomous car, new challenges – technical, managerial, societal, ethical, economic and legal – are challenging the players in our industry.
“As an integral part of Mobilize, the Group’s CSR approach, the Renault Foundation aims to promote inclusion and sustainable mobility; it thus aims to play a role in the digitalisation of the industry by training new generations in the professions of tomorrow, while guaranteeing equal opportunities for students, through the granting of scholarships and support for students throughout their careers.”
