Why partner with the ESSEC Beauty Chair?

At The Estée Lauder Companies, we are deeply passionate about learning and development.

Partnering with ESSEC, IFF and Douglas on the creation of this one-of-a-kind, end-to end beauty program for ESSEC is a unique opportunity for us to engage with future leaders of prestige beauty. We’re delighted to help provide students with a first-hand look into what it takes to successfully lead in beauty by providing insights and programming that can serve both as important career inspiration and skillset development.  We seek high-performers from universities to bring fresh perspectives to our teams and help students to define business goals, develop their skillset, and guide them to make an impact from day one.

With our company’s broad geographical footprint, it is essential that we continue to have a diverse workforce that understands local relevance and the changing beauty needs of our global consumers. We’re excited to be part of an internationally-recognized program that is helping to develop the next generation of leaders in our exciting, fast-moving industry.
