The EGCs in France, as well as the Rodez campus, are adapting to climate and digital transitions.
“The concerns of business leaders are also ours,” underlines Sandrine Lacombe, director of EGC Rodez. Last Tuesday, the EGC Business School unveiled an analysis of the strategic needs of business leaders in Occitania facing the climate and digital transitions.
The challenge of transitions
Race results: among the 165 companies surveyed, 7 out of 10 managers say that their company is impacted or directly linked to the transitions and nearly 90% believe that it is an opportunity for the development of their business. “We must follow trends and monitor developments within companies, this allows us to adapt our program,” adds Sandrine Lacombe.
Among the emerging issues, Patrice Bras, director of EGC Occitanie, highlights the security problems of the company’s data and system. “Leaders also expect young people to provide tools to implement the ecological transition. This is one of the priorities of companies and graduates must have good reflexes,” he continues. This is the role of the EGC: to train future employees in these questions. Nearly a quarter of the business leaders surveyed are also convinced that young people are better trained for transitions. More than 6 out of 10 managers say they are recruiting them to integrate these new challenges into their business.
A new educational model has also been designed for the 20 EGC campuses in France. From the start of the 2024-2025 school year, additional criteria will emerge and “the managers of tomorrow will be trained taking into account respect for sustainable development and CSR”.
EGC Rodez, a recognized school in the region
The EGC, “a clever mix of academic and professional supervision, itself from the business world”, has been training future SME employees in Rodez for 40 years. It is also the only business school in Aveyron to have a bac + 3 diploma developed by the EGC and approved by the Ministry of Higher Education.
For the past two years, conferences and events related to ecological and digital transitions have been organized within the EGC Rodez. Recently, Campus XIIe Avenue began a process to become a sustainable campus. A label currently in the diagnostic phase that will change the educational, economic and ecological aspects of teaching, “but also the way of working together, and on the territory”, specifies the director of EGC Rodez.
