Crédit Agricole Centre-Est
Raphaël APPERT
To fully play our role in all the transitions that we will have to accompany and simply to allow these transitions to happen in a positive and inclusive way, we are perfectly aware of the importance of the human being. We are convinced that well-informed and well-trained employees will be our best assets for success.
This is why Crédit Agricole Centre-Est, a long-time partner of UCLy, welcomes with great interest and fully supports the Esdes approach to this new high-level training.
Montabert
Lionel Goyet, HRD
Montabert has been committed for several years now in a circular economy scheme, such as the creation of an internal department for the “remanufacturing” of its own products, in Lyon and for Montabert in the United States. The MSc Circular Economy and Sustainable innovation will allow our teams to consolidate their achievements but also to widen their knowledge.
From my point of view, as a HR Manager, it’s a great advantage to hire candidates with this additional education, given our new ecological and economic stakes.

Aimée
BACHELOR IN LAW & MANAGEMENT STUDENT
I have always been interested in law and legal matters. The Bachelor in Law and Management is the only course that offers a dual curriculum from the first year. When I was younger, I wanted to become a lawyer. However, when I graduated from high school, I opted for a business school to broaden my career choices and job opportunities, without specializing too early. Today, with ESDES and the Faculty of Law, I can fulfill my ambitions while at the same time shaping a different outlook on the world, and am developing a wider range of skills and a profile that really stands out.
