Alumni Network

A network that follows you after graduation

By joining Excelia Business School, you also join Excelia Alumni, the association that brings together graduates from all the schools and all the cohorts of the Excelia group. This connection is not limited to a graduation ceremony: it supports you throughout your professional life.

Excelia Alumni is not just a list of former students: it is an organisation that brings together graduates from every school in the Excelia group, whatever their cohort or background. The Excelia network therefore has 53,000 graduates, present in 150 countries, a scale that goes well beyond that of a single school, and which changes the nature of the service provided: finding a contact in a sector, a country or a company becomes a matter of a few exchanges, rather than a blind search.

This association is part of our approach to professionalisation, which Excelia Business School builds from the first year: the alumni network is its natural extension, not an afterthought added later. It follows you at every stage, moreover, not just when you leave the school: a first job, a career change ten years later, an international move all call for different needs, and it is precisely to meet this diversity that the association exists. What distinguishes an alumni network from a simple directory are the services it activates in practice. That is what we detail below.

What the network brings you in practice

The alumni network gives you access to job and internship offers, personalised career support and professional events, organised everywhere the network is present.

In practice, Excelia Alumni adapts its support to your situation. Looking for a first job does not call for the same support as a professional career change several years after graduation: the network advises on both, but with levers designed for each stage.

• Advice and support for the job search
• Support for career change, for graduates who already have experience
• Circulation of job and internship offers, often coming from the network itself
• Directory of graduates and regular professional events

Many of these offers come directly from graduates who recruit within the network they know, which sets them apart from generalist circulation. Professional events play a complementary role, over time: they maintain a connection that distance or the time elapsed since graduation might otherwise loosen.

What the network brings you depends on your current plans. An Excelia Business School adviser can help you get a clearer picture: talk to them about the alumni network's services.

A network accessible from your studies

Access to Excelia Alumni does not begin at graduation: from your course at Excelia Business School, you can join the network as a student member.

This continuity is not incidental. During your studies, whatever programme you follow among our programmes, the Talent Centre, which helps you identify the careers that suit you, showcase your skills and prepare your search for an internship or work-study placement, already supports you, and joining Excelia Alumni is part of this same movement rather than following it afterwards. You therefore start building contacts even before you need them, a head start that changes a great deal on the day you look for an internship, a work-study placement or your first job.

The Excelia Business School alumni network then continues on the association's website exceliaalumni.org, which centralises the directory, job offers and news. There you will also find our graduates' career paths, which give a concrete idea of what this network makes possible, once you have your degree in hand.
