JUNIOR PROGRAM
TO MAKE THE RIGHT CHOICE FOR YOUR STUDIES AFTER HIGH SCHOOL, NOTHING BEATS TRYING THINGS OUT FOR YOURSELF!
ICD’s Junior programme is an innovative and fun learning initiative that allows you to discover what higher education study is really about in order to help you make the right choices and understand the sales, marketing, business development and events management professions.
Each ICD Junior Programme session is stand-alone and entirely free of charge. Every Wednesday for 4 hours, the programme allows you to gain an insight into the world of work and develops your team-working skills.
The school offers us the opportunity to discover new international markets thanks to the different semesters we spend abroad. From January to May 2018, I chose to do the Intercultural Management Semester (SMI). It was a really worthwhile experience, which involved us exploring different kinds of business such as the American, Chinese or Vietnamese markets, whilst at the same time discovering the culture of these countries. In addition, it was also a great opportunity for us to develop our international professional network and launch our graduate careers by being able to contact some of the leading business figures.
