Foreign executive training

Each of HEC Montréal’s management training programs is made to measure and consists of a group of short professional-development seminars intended for managers and executives. They are flexible and can be customized to suit each company’s specific reality and needs. Courses can be given not only in English or French, but also in Spanish or Portuguese. A number of HEC Montréal’s seminars are also offered in Mandarin Chinese and other languages with the help of interpreters.

Thanks to its faculty of some 250 professors, HEC Montréal can offer extremely varied business training programs that cover a wide range of general business topics, along with more specialized themes such as energy, sustainable development and healthcare.

Management training programs

HEC Montréal’s management training programs are usually made up of between five and ten seminars and are developed to give participants an overview of a given topic.

Seminars are usually two or three days long and are given by an HEC Montréal professor. Programs can be intensive and feature a series of tightly scheduled seminars, or seminars can be spread out over a longer period and be given, say, once a month. They can be held abroad or at HEC Montréal.

In the latter case, they can be combined with conferences and field visits, and the resulting program would take the form of a study trip.

General management training program

The school’s general business training programs include seminars such as management, human resources management, strategy, leadership and accounting. Professors adapt the content of their seminars to the company’s field of endeavour or the country’s specific situation.

Energy-sector business training program

HEC Montréal counts on a team of energy-sector experts, including some fifteen renowned professors.

HEC Montréal benefits from internationally recognized know-how thanks to the success of the energy-sector development programs it has offered in China, Mexico, Algeria, Tunisia, Malaysia and Singapore.

This program for energy-sector executives and managers consists of 10 management seminars, half of which focus on topics related specifically to energy, while the other half focus on more general aspects of business management. The program is often enriched by lecturers from the energy industry and field visits.

Management training program in sustainable development

Thanks to its wide-ranging experience in the field of sustainable development, HEC Montréal offers specialized training programs for businesses seeking to bring their management approach in line with sustainable development principles. In fact, sustainability is the common thread that links all our energy-sector activities.

For over 15 years, HEC Montréal has emphasized sustainable development issues and practices by means of specialized courses on the subject. A team of committed professors established a number of business training modules focusing on sustainable development to enable businesses to improve their efficiency and adopt a responsible management approach.

In 2006, HEC Montréal launched the first graduate diploma program (D.E.S.S.) in Management and Sustainable Development. This diploma can be offered abroad.

Healthcare-sector management training program

HEC Montréal has developed leading expertise in healthcare facility management in order to meet the growing needs and constraints of healthcare-sector managers and executives. The courses are taught by professors who have a solid understanding of the daily challenges faced by healthcare facilities and the concrete management practices they must apply.

In collaboration with Université de Montréal, HEC Montréal can enrich the programs it offers in Montréal with specialized presentations and visits to health centres that have shown strong leadership and innovation.
