February 2010 meeting: Further Education
Tuesday, February 9, 2010 – 19H00-21H30 at KPMG
Going back to school offers a way to increase your knowledge, inmprove your job skills, or maybe even jump-start your career. It is also a way to change career streams – and perhaps start something new. This meeting will introduce you to the further education arena in France. Just how would you go about returning to school; what do you need to know about the French higher-education system; will a new diploma really help your career? To answer these questions and more, we have our guest-speaker Wendy Hédiard, from the EMLYON Business School.
Wendy Hédiard is a Dutch national with over 10 years of experience in international marketing in business-to-business as well as business-to-consumer environments. She started her career marketing software for Corel Corporation in Canada and spent two years in France marketing wine on the Belgian market for the direct mail company Le Savour Club. After a short passage in the consulting industry, she moved to the position of Marketing Manager EMEA (Europe, Middle East & Africa) for Crown Worldwide Group, a relocation services company operating more than 100 offices worldwide, and worked primarily based out of The Netherlands and the UK. Wendy returned to France in 2003 for family reasons, and arrived in Lyon in 2006. She started at EMLYON Business School as Head of International Marketing & Development and currently heads up the marketing team in charge of both French and International graduate programmes.
We hope you will join us for this educational evening, and that you will share your “back to school in France” experiences with us.
