Networking

The ESCP network, a power to activate

One of ESCP's greatest assets? Its community. A global network of 90,000 alumni, representing more than 136 nationalities. An immense wealth of resources, built on the diversity of backgrounds, experiences and ambitions. This network can change everything in your career. But to make it work for you, you need to know how to activate and maintain it.

Why is networking important?

Unlock new opportunities

Many job offers or projects aren’t shared on public platforms — they circulate through the network. Building strong contacts and relationships multiplies your chances of being in the right place at the right time.
Receive guidance and mentorship

By connecting with other professionals, you can learn from their successes and mistakes, test ideas, and gain valuable feedback on your own plans. The network becomes a true learning ground.
Boost your visibility and credibility

Sharing your expertise, attending events, and joining discussions help you build a strong professional image. It’s key to getting noticed, recommended, or considered for new roles.

How to start networking effectively?

Directory & Groups

The online directory lets you identify Alumni based on precise criteria: industry, job, country… A great way to find those who’ve followed a path that inspires you—and reach out with your questions.

Another option: join a group (by sector, interest, graduation year...) and connect with its representatives to expand your network and take part in targeted events.
In-Person Events

Nothing beats face-to-face interactions for growing your network. These authentic and spontaneous encounters help build trust. Identify the events linked to your field where your target contacts are likely to be.
Workshops & Webinars

Speaking up, introducing yourself, understanding networking etiquette… These interactive online sessions help you quickly improve and adopt the best practices to build strong, lasting connections.
