ISC Paris receives BSIS label renewal

ISC Paris is delighted to welcome Amel Leduc as Director of Corporate Relations. With 25 years’ experience in continuing professional education and executive education, she has been offering her expertise to the school since 3 June.

An engineer from the CNAM and with a degree in business management, Amel Leduc began her career with a consultancy and training firm, where she supported the development and roll-out of training projects. After this initial experience, she joined the Cegos Group, where she held various sales responsibilities before taking charge of a strategic market.

Throughout her career, Amel Leduc has worked with companies and public and private organisations from a wide range of sectors (industry, insurance, medico-social, luxury goods, public institutions, etc.) on the deployment of their skills development projects in France and internationally.

With a desire to complement her expertise in continuing education with a focus on higher education, she joined the Omnes Education Group’s IFG as Sales and Marketing Director, then Director of Development. On 3 June, Amel Leduc took up her position as Director of Corporate Relations at ISC Paris.

Bringing her strategic vision to bear on corporate relations

Since the school was founded in 1963, ISC Paris has been the benchmark school for Action Learning, an original teaching method based on learning experiences such as sandwich courses. Amel Leduc’s first challenge is to pursue, strengthen and develop the school’s relationships with partner companies, students and alumni, as well as the community of donors for both the Taxe d’apprentissage and the Endowment Fund.

She plays the role of intermediary between the business world and the academic world in an economic, social, technical and regulatory context that is constantly evolving, and where it is essential to anticipate the skills needs of companies. “I’m determined to keep a close eye on the challenges facing companies and their markets, so as to create the conditions for a perfect match between the needs of students and the needs of the companies of today and tomorrow”, explains Amel Leduc.

Strong objectives for this new position

As Director of Corporate Relations, Amel Leduc’s ambition is to take a fresh look at Executive Education, bringing the school’s expertise to companies, partners and learners in a spirit of co-construction and mobilisation of educational and scientific resources. “I would like to invest time with our alumni network and carry out in-depth work on the ISC Paris service offering for our partner companies and our community of donors,” explains Amel Leduc.

“I am very honoured and enthusiastic to be joining the ISC Paris Group and to be working with such an excellent team to contribute to the school’s reputation and academic innovation. Together, we are working to support the ambitions of our students and learners, who are the talents driving the transformation of current and future businesses. This will involve strengthening links and bridges with economic players. I would like to extend my warmest thanks to the entire team for their warm welcome and for the confidence they have shown in me,” she emphasises.

“We are delighted to welcome Amel Leduc to the ISC Paris management team as Director of Corporate Relations. There is no doubt that her experience in Executive Education and more broadly in BtoB will be an asset in developing this strategic area for the school. With Amel, we aim to innovate in the school/company partnership to meet the challenges of skills transformation in the decades to come,” concludes Jean-Christophe Hauguel, Dean of ISC Pa

ISC Paris has just been awarded the BSIS (Business School Impact System) label for a second time, for a period of three years. Created by the FNEGE (Fondation Nationale pour l’Enseignement de la Gestion des Entreprises) in partnership with the EFMD (European Foundation for Management Development), the BSIS label measures the nature and extent of a school’s impact on its local, national and international environment.

The group of experts recognized ISC Paris’ impact, awarding it the BSIS label for the second time, for a period of three years.

In addition to its financial impact, here are the elements that enabled ISC Paris to obtain the renewal of the BSIS label:

• Its impact on the regional ecosystem: ISC Paris contributes to a very rich ecosystem, both on the Paris and Orléans campuses. It is a strong supporter of the political and economic fabric, particularly in Orléans. The school raises the profile of the regions in which it is present, thanks to its partnerships with companies, its international outlook, and a strong academic and alumni presence on social networks.

• Its societal impact : FNEGE once again emphasized ISC Paris’ commitment to its societal impact, and the fact that measuring it is at the heart of the school’s strategic concerns. ISC Paris plays a genuine social elevator role, offering accredited, high-quality training to a wide variety of students. This is facilitated by a pedagogical organization that enables diverse profiles to study and succeed at the school. The school’s CSR (Corporate Social Responsibility) dimension is also emphasized. In addition to offering CSR courses to all its students, the school is working to produce specialization courses in SDRS (Sustainable Development and Social Responsibility) through the creation of two specifically dedicated research groups.
• Its educational impact: The school encourages students’ personal growth and the development of agile personalities, by integrating the notion of the right to make mistakes through practical experiences such as student enterprises. ISC Paris also fosters the development of skills that have a positive impact on the Paris and Orléans regions, where there are many work-study students and alumni. Their feedback ensures that the school’s pedagogical approach is constantly updated to keep pace with the realities of the professional world.

• Its impact on business development: In addition to the internships and work-study contracts offered as part of the programs, the school’s entrepreneurial culture helps students gain confidence. The school’s professors also contribute to this impact by carrying out consulting assignments for companies in the regions where ISC Paris is located.

• Its impact on intellectual production: The school is distinguished by its high level of academic production, and its professors are encouraged to share their work with the scientific community, partner companies and teaching teams. ISC Paris has also created a structure dedicated to translation and popularization to support researchers and their work, as well as offering consulting services.

A word from the Dean: Jean-Christophe HAUGUEL

“We at ISC Paris are delighted to have renewed the BSIS label after a 1st award in 2021. The highly relevant analysis of the experts commissioned by FNEGE and EFMD gives us an outside view of the school’s impact and its development over the past 3 years. More broadly, their strategic advice is invaluable in highlighting the school’s true uniqueness and underlining the progress made over the past 3 years. This support is much appreciated by the Executive Committee, and guides us in defining the next strategic plan, which will be unveiled in 2025.
