Training: anticipate, empower, include

Centrale Lyon's students will have a key role to play in supporting companies and the public sector in major transitions. The SD&CSR master plan focuses on integrating the knowledge and skills required to meet the challenges of major transitions into all degrees, as well as opening up to new audiences and promoting student commitment to SD&CSR.

Integrate SD&RS issues into initial and continuing training programs at all levels of graduation and certification.
