"It is a journey of initiation, for some a total discovery, which highlights the richness of this sector and the codes that are specific to it. It is a privileged time to dive into the heart of the trades, to understand the excellence of know-how and the power of creativity. It is also an opportunity to perfect specific skills (digital communication strategy, personal marketing, design and analysis of the customer journey) and to develop one's leadership by getting involved in transversal projects. The objective of the program is to enable graduates to integrate more easily into this sector, to know how to decipher the DNA of brands and their evolution, to develop their network through regular immersions in companies and to project themselves internationally by using English as a daily reference language.

"
During this year, I was able to discover the history and culture of luxury through time. Thanks to Ms. Farez, the head of the Luxury major, we had the chance to visit the most beautiful haute couture, leather goods and jewelry houses in Paris. These visits were, without a doubt, the most impactful classes I have had in my schooling. This last year allowed me to open my eyes to the world and more particularly to the world of luxury and to apprehend my professional future more serenely. A big thank you to the istec and to the whole teaching team for these five memorable years. "
