Experiential and Personal Development (EPD) is a learning approach developed by Excelia to encourage and contribute to both your personal and professional success.
EPD
3 letters, which represent a learning approach unique to our Group that will help you gain a better understanding of yourself, thereby enabling you to determine the most suitable professional path. Encompassing several different experiences, adapted to each of our programmes, EPD is a perfect complement to your academic studies.
More than simply educating you for business and management jobs, the goal of Excelia is to strengthen your capacity to shape a successful career path after your studies.
Excelia aims to make you the driving force in your plans for the future. Throughout your studies, you will therefore receive support and guidance in identifying, developing and putting your personal and professional project into action.
EDP covers this field of experiential learning, made up of personal and professional experiences, constituting a veritable advantage for your future. The objective is to ensure that, by the end of your studies, you are fully prepared to enter the job market.
EPD refers to all the experiences you will have outside of lesson time, such as internships, Humacité© project or expatriation; each one being a veritable source of knowledge. This approach to enhancing your professional experience has been developed alongside our business partners and external recruitment organisations. EPD is common to all programmes offered by Excelia and is adapted appropriately for each individual programme. In order to be even more effective, EDP is supplemented by professional workshops and specific events organised by the EDP department and the management from the Corporate Relations & Career Centre.
In a student survey, more than 90% of participants said they valued these exchanges with industry professionals, which have now become an integral part of the Group’s programmes.
