At the LSM, we see strong corporate connections as both a prerequisite and a consequence of our strategy. Accordingly, we strive to develop various privileged collaborations with the key players of our Society – public and private – that allow both our students and faculty to benefit from the knowledge and the expertise of these players, and conversely provide them with access to the knowledge and the expertise of the School.
In practice, this implies a threefold offer, involving
three types of stakeholders:
1. Corporations and organisations
We develop strong and long-term corporate collaborations at international, national and local levels, as well as across various sectors. In particular, our Corporate Relations Office plays a key role in the day-to-day follow-up and support of the School’s various corporate collaborations, and helps our corporate partners in all their relations with the School.
2. Students
We help our students to build their professional project. To support the matching between business needs and students’ inspirations and ambitions, we offer students a very large panel of opportunities to get considerable feedback from the corporate world: internships, business projects, career events, guest speakers, Fellows, etc.
3. Young graduates and alumni
We support our young graduates and alumni throughout their career, and develop several collaborations with our alumni network. In particular, we consider our 20,000 alumni as key stakeholders of the School and we collaborate with our Alumni associations on specific projects related to career placement or for the Graduation Ceremony.
