Training employees

In our programs, we offer a cross-disciplinary vision of management with strong pedagogical convictions. Our ambition is to give priority to teaching the fundamentals of management and administration necessary for professional advancement, while integrating soft skills. Our training courses also draw heavily on our research activities to initiate new thinking and train people capable of meeting tomorrow's challenges. Of the 2,000 or so executives trained each year, around 1,200 are trained in our Paris-based Executive Programs, of which nearly 25% are supported by their companies.

Why encourage employees to train?

  • To act in favor of lifelong professional development, a strong commitment that benefits all stakeholders.
  • To develop your company's attractiveness both externally, to attract your future employees, and internally, to preserve your talents and retain your teams.
  • To strengthen your employer brand and consolidate the relationship with your employees by energizing HR career paths and supporting skills development.
  • To carry out in-depth work on a business-related issue: our training courses culminate in the writing of a professionally-oriented research dissertation. This work can bring real added value to the company, enabling the employee to deal with a subject directly related to his or her professional environment.

The advantages of our Executive degree programs

With the Sorbonne Business School, you're choosing a university education in management of excellence, delivered by a school rooted in humanist values of equal opportunity, democratization of success, a spirit of progress and societal commitment.

  • Recognized courses registered with the RNCP and awarding the diploma of Université Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne, a world-class institution that features in the main European and international rankings for higher education.
  • Optimal organization for both company and employees, facilitated by a part-time training rhythm compatible with professional activity and a course schedule known in advance. Offered in the form of monthly daytime seminars (2 to 3 days per month), some of our programs are also offered outside working hours (evenings and Saturdays). Length varies depending on the program, between 270 and 333 hours, spread over 15-24 months for masters and MBA(s)
  • Knowledge continuously updated by research on current issues in management and its players thanks to the contributions of the LAB IAE Paris-Sorbonne and its 7 research chairs.
  • Limited class sizes to facilitate interactivity, group work and the development of soft skills, offering a privileged relationship with lecturers.
  • Regular access to the Sorbonne Business School professional club conferences to develop managerial culture on current topics, complementing teaching: around a hundred events organized each year.
  • Teaching rooted in corporate practice combining academic and professional expertise using case study pedagogy.
  • Win/win skills development as the curriculum progresses, enabling companies to be supported on specific issues, notably via the research dissertation, and employees to develop professionally.
  • Programs accessible to all thanks to validation of prior learning. Because we believe in everyone's potential and want to give as many people as possible a chance, our training programs are open to all thanks to the mechanisms for validating professional experience: Validation des Acquis Professionnels (VAP) or Validation des Acquis de l'Expérience (VAE).

Short certifying programs

Short programs are also organized, in the form of training seminars open to professionals. The Sorbonne Business School thus offers professionalizing training programs on the main themes of its research chairs. On completion of the training, participants are awarded a certificate.

And because continuous training also means meeting professionals, The Sorbonne Business School regularly offers themed conferences on its premises, open to all (registration required).

Tailored programs to meet your specific needs

Do you have plans for your company? Companies are evolving, and the skills of their employees need to adapt to a constantly changing environment. The Sorbonne Business School can support any organization in dealing with management-related issues. Specific programs can thus be organized in France and internationally for companies and organizations in the private and public sectors, in the form of intra-company seminars over a short period of a few days or on a longer-term basis.

Our university school of management thus regularly welcomes executives from French or international companies or organizations. These tailor-made programs can also be relocated.
