The Saint-Etienne Young Ambassador Program

Studying in France isn’t just about wine, cheese and baguettes. You will know that after your stay here!

If you really would like to do something different whilst studying in France, this is YOUR chance to do so.

How?

Become an ambassador for St Etienne by developing a project or activity in cooperation with a local company and then promoting your work back in your home country.

The Lyon / St Etienne Young Ambassador Program offers foreign students studying in a “Grande Ecole” in Lyon or St Etienne the possibility to discover how a local company works.

Selected students will be assigned a tutor within a company who would help them learn more about their sector of activity, the French way of working, the region etc. Students would also be able to participate in cultural activities organized by the company and the Young Ambassador Program.
In turn, the student would promote the company and/or the region when they return home.

There are currently 495 Young Ambassadors in more than 60 countries in the world!

Requirements :

You are an ideal candidate for the Lyon/ St Etienne Young Ambassador Program if you are:

• an exchange student at a Grande Ecole or University participating in the program*
• able to converse in French easily with the company.
• willing to make the commitment to meet with your company tutor 5 times during the year.
• available until end April 2006.
  
  
  Charlotte Peyrat will provide more information upon your arrival at the ESC Saint-Etienne.

"The Saint Etienne School of Management is proud to announce that Valeriia Zasiedatielieva, a foreign student from Nicholls State University, Louisiana, USA received the 3rd prize of the Lyon - Saint Etienne Young Ambassadors programme 2007.

The aim of Young Ambassador Programme:
The Young Ambassadors have to encourage international partnerships with companies in Lyon and Saint Etienne, and to facilitate relations between the members: coaches, higher educational institutions, institutional partners.

In 2007, the 210 candidates for the programme came from 38 different countries and 17 educational establishments of Lyon and Saint Etienne.

Valeriia was in competition with 16 foreign students and was selected to present her project orally in front of a panel of 6 judges.

Her project, an economic initiative to reinforce links between the Loire department and her native country the Ukraine and notably in the food industry particularly attracted the jury’s attention.
