HEC Lausanne Executive Education celebrates its 10th anniversary

In 2024, we reach a milestone by celebrating 10 years of HEC Lausanne Executive Education serving the continuing education of executives and professionals.

Since our beginnings, we have rapidly established ourselves as a reference in Switzerland in the field of Executive Education. Our aim is to offer diversified and innovative programmes, designed to meet the demands of the market while supporting the ambitions of each participant.

With a constantly growing community, we have transformed the careers of thousands of professionals, helping them to evolve and reinvent themselves in their respective fields.

Here we share with you the ingredients that have made HEC Lausanne Executive Education such a success in its first decade.

A training offer designed for today's needs

What sets us apart is our ability to offer flexible training tailored to the needs of today's professionals. We offer a variety of courses for people at different stages of their careers, including Diplomas of Advanced Studies (DAS), Certificates of Advanced Studies (CAS), as well as a wide range of short courses. Whether you want to deepen your knowledge in a specific field, acquire new skills or consider a career change, each programme we offer combines academic rigour with practical application.

Our courses are not designed solely to impart knowledge: they are designed to provide you with skills that can be applied immediately in your day-to-day professional life. Each programme reflects an in-depth analysis of the real needs of businesses, ensuring that our participants are prepared for today's market challenges.

Promoting responsible, caring management

At the heart of our commitment are strong values, in particular the desire to promote responsible and caring management. More than just a training programme, HEC Lausanne Executive Education aims to train leaders capable of transforming their organisations in a sustainable and impactful way.

Our vision of management is rooted in respect for individuals, the environment and society, and it is this approach that we want to pass on to our participants. By integrating ethical values and responsible practices into our programmes, we train today's managers to build a fairer and more respectful future, while strengthening their professional and personal impact.

A passionate team of experts dedicated to your success

Behind each programme we design is a team of professionals who are passionate about teaching and personal development, supported by speakers from the academic and professional worlds.

We offer a personalised learning experience, combining proximity to learners with practical and theoretical expertise. Our experts share concrete case studies and analyses linked to current issues, connecting knowledge with realities on the ground. This unique combination fosters personal development, learning and professional success, making our programmes both relevant and impactful.

A community of alumni that extends beyond the course itself

In ten years, we have had the privilege of welcoming thousands of professionals into our alumni community. These former participants, now leaders in their sectors, testify to the lasting impact of their time at HEC Lausanne Executive Education.

This alumni network is not only a breeding ground for professional opportunities, but also a place for sharing and support between generations. Their success echoes the quality of our programmes, and many of them return as ambassadors to pass on their experience and inspire future participants.

A success built on failure

Entrepreneurship and the ability to learn from our mistakes are at the heart of the DNA of HEC Lausanne Executive Education. We have not always got it right first time, but it is our failures, as well as our successes, that have enabled us to evolve, adapt and build our reputation.

This humility is essential if we are to offer authentic training that is close to the reality of professional challenges, and it undoubtedly contributes to the quality and relevance of our offering.

A forward-looking vision

As we celebrate our tenth anniversary, we remain resolutely forward-looking. Always attentive to the needs of the market and professionals, we continue to innovate to offer programmes that anticipate changes in the world of work.

We remain committed to our mission of training today's leaders and plan to introduce new programmes while strengthening our collaboration with the business world.

Our ambition is to remain a driver of transformation in the field of continuing education, while supporting professionals in developing their skills and advancing their careers.

Focusing on the skills of tomorrow

To celebrate this decade of service to training, we are pleased to be organising a round table on a topical theme: reinventing skills with AI.

This event will be an opportunity to explore together the new prospects offered by artificial intelligence for developing skills and adapting to changes in the professional world.

Join us to discuss and innovate around this key issue for the future.
