CGE employment survey: IÉSEG’s young graduates doing well in the labour market

In 2015, 30 Management Schools including IÉSEG took part in a survey led by the Conférence des Grandes Écoles relating to the recruitment of young graduates from the French Grandes Écoles.

Here are some of the key figures concerning graduates from IÉSEG’s Grande École (GE) program (the survey was conducted in the first four months of the year with graduates from the 2014 promotion of the GE program):

  • Employment: 80,5% of our graduates surveyed found their first job either before leaving the School or within two months of leaving.
  • Salaries on the rise: The average salary of young IÉSEG graduates was € 42,641 compared to € 36,230 last year. The average for all management schools in France was €38 534.
  • International dimension: the importance the School places on the international dimension is highlighted by the fact that 36,6% of young graduates started their careers outside of France (a level which is 58% higher than the average for the other French management schools surveyed). In total, 65,8% of our Grande École program graduates had a function linked with international activities.
  • The types of job functions carried out by our graduates reflect the broad and generalist nature of the School’s 5-year Grande École management programme:
    • administration / finance / accounting: 21.5%
    • marketing: 17,4%
    • commercial functions: 12,4%
    • audit: 12,4%
    • management 7,4%
    • human Resources 5,8%
    • purchasing, supply, logistics 5%

The above results underline the competitivity of our graduates on the labour market!

Congratulations to them all!
