The junior enterprise was founded in 1967 by Pierre-Marie THAUVIN, an ESSEC student. The concept of junior enterprise itself had yet to be formalized. Junior ESSEC, along with 5 other early junior enterprises created in the next years in other French Grandes Ecoles, created in 1969 the CNJE, the first national organisation to protect the interests of junior enterprises.
Members are recruited after having successfully passed through 8 rounds of interviews and a final assessment center where they are challenged on consulting cases.
Project managers at Junior ESSEC are asked for a 2 years commitment.
