Chinese delegation welcomed to EKLYA campus in Écully
On 2 October, EKLYA School of Business opened its doors to a Chinese delegation composed of representatives from the Ministry of Education and partner universities. The aim was to gain a better understanding of the EKLYA model and the role played by the Lyon Métropole Saint-Étienne Roanne Chamber of Commerce and Industry in training young talent.
The visit took place in the presence of Sébastien Arcos, director of the school, and Philippe Collot, elected representative of the CCI. Together, they presented the school’s educational organisation, its close ties with businesses, and the importance given to work-study programmes and employability.
A meeting focused on sharing experiences
This morning of discussions provided an opportunity to address key topics:
- the professional approach of EKLYA training programmes,
- strong links with the local economic fabric,
- international mobility schemes,
- the role of the CCI in supporting students.
« This type of meeting allows us to exchange views and enrich our educational practices. It is by strengthening academic cooperation that we can best prepare our students to thrive in a globalised world. »
