HEC Consulting Club

The society’s history

HEC Consulting Club, the Junior-Enterprise (JE) of HEC Paris, is a professional society (French law of 1901), founded in 1971 and managed by students of the Grande Ecole Programme of HEC Paris. It operates on the model of a consulting firm and enables HEC students to acquire valuable professional experience through various missions : market studies, communication plans, business plans, etc, carried out for companies of all sizes and in all sectors of activity.

The society is managed by a team of 20 students who work both as project managers and as administrators of the society. They are supported by a secretary who ensures the link between the different generations and who carries out essential tasks to ensuring the effective operation of the society.

The HEC Consulting Club relies on an active and dynamic network of 400 "JE alumni" who share their expertise and capitalize on their experience to submit innovative solutions to its customers, such as Google, Bain and Microsoft.

How to join HEC Junior Conseil?

The majority of HEC students wishing to contribute to the JE in order to become a member of the society and be recruited to carry out missions are chosen at the beginning of the year.

Each year in November, the campus votes to elect the new mandate. This vote follows a demanding campaign of individual professional challenges and student events.

The team members are chosen for their technical skills, their motivation and above all their ability to form an efficient and united team. The whole team is driven by a taste for performance and a desire to satisfy the client's needs. 

Then, the new team of project managers is then trained for 5 months (in parallel with their studies at HEC Paris) alongside the outgoing mandate and partner companies.

The team officially took office in June for a one-year term.
