Employment and Skills
The CCI du Var runs three training establishments dedicated to the nurturing of young talents.
The Ecole Supérieure de Commerce et Technologie – ESCT (Graduate School of Commerce and Technology) and the Ecole Internationale de Design – EID (International Design School)
Thanks to the association of these two schools with Euromed Ecole de Management Marseille, they are positioned as the “Technology, Design and Management” centre for the Provence Alpes Côte d’Azur region.
The ESCT provides training in commercial, managerial and technological skills for students having followed a technological or scientific programme in higher education. The School enriches their behavioural qualities and gives depth to their professional and cultural references. The three-year course leads to the title of “Business Engineer”, certified by the French State at Level I (5 years of higher education studies after the baccalaureate). It is now possible to enter the School after the Baccalaureat (French secondary education diploma) by means of a two-year preparatory cycle.
The EID is the only school in the South of France specialising in both product design and multimedia graphics. The School delivers the following diplomas:
- “Concepteur-Designer”, certified Level II (4 years of higher education studies after the Baccalaureat) in 3 areas of expertise: graphic design and multimedia, interior design and industrial design.
- Master of Science in International Business and Management for Design in partnership with the University of Salford (UK), including a one-year managerial programme conducted in English.
- Design & Business, a three- year course in partnership with the School of Commerce and Technology and combining 3 areas: design, marketing and management.
