Preparing for your Tomorrow, Today

 

At HEC Paris, we are convinced that the next generation will be defined by bold leaders, innovative entrepreneurs, and socially responsible changemakers. That is why we have designed a range of Youth Programs for talented high school students aged 15 to 18, combining rigorous learning with personal development.

Our primary aim is to give participants the confidence, tools, and mindset to approach the future with a strong sense of purpose. Whether developing leadership skills, discovering entrepreneurship, mastering financial basics, or exploring the global economics of football, HEC Paris Youth Programs empower high school students to learn, reflect, and grow.

What’s more, these programs offer participants the chance to join a diverse community of motivated peers and experience the unique environment of the HEC Paris campus.
