Protection Sociale et Mutuelles
Entry requirements
Access to the SSE Master's SPEM pathway is open to any students with a fourth year postgraduate diploma connected with the social protection sector (main schemes and mutuals). Continuing training students who have not reached this training level can still access the training program via the Validation of Acquired Experience procedure.
There are two stages to the selection process: a preliminary selection based on applications, then an admission interview after which a selection board announces whether or not the pre-selected candidates have been admitted.
Benefits of the program
The training program is for 20 - 25 students.
In partnership with the EN3S, the training program involves a network of recognised experts and professionals, ensuring it is grounded in the professional world. It is open to apprenticeship and also admits several continuing training candidates each year.
Acquired skills
The training program aims to develop students' skills with sandwich training, involving spending time with a company and attending courses:
- Acquire a managerial attitude in team and project management with appropriate technological tools, administrative productivity tools, reporting tools and budget monitoring tools, in information systems applied to health and social data
- Develop legal expertise (labour law, social security law, European social legislation) and management skills to ensure the performance of a social protection organisation (accounting, financial analysis, management control, budget, internal auditing).

Management This part is dedicated to the Management of Social Protection Organizations and Supplementary ones, insisting on its articulation with information systems in their dimensions of interactions, with the daily and strategic management of these organizations. The quality management system, with all the importance of process steps, is essential. The evaluation dimensions (both internal and external) and audit are also crucial with an articulation with the aspects of accounting (general and analytical), cost control and budgets (management by objectives / results) and, of course, all the aspects of management control, including its strategic dimension. | 12 | |||

Communication This part focus on the communication in a very broad approach of organizational dynamics, analysis of the role and function of executive and team management in its different dimensions (motivation, dynamics of change, conflict management, etc.) . The customer relationship dimension has become unavoidable, both for general-purpose Social Security organizations in their relationship with their users (customer approach) and, even more so, for supplementary social protection organizations, particularly mutual ones, in a specific sector, highly competitive. The satisfaction and loyalty of the "customer" has become essential as the marketing techniques and search for new customers or partners. The negotiation dimensions will thus be approached both in its internal and external dimensions.

He insists on professional immersion (case study) and on case studies, by promoting autonomy and taking responsibility of his students. In this perspective, the study dissertation must allow the students to enhance their professional immersion, to position themselves as a force of analysis and proposals. The methodology of study dissertation is inseparable from the personalized follow-up of the student by a referent teacher who is also in relation with his host organization. | 14 | |||
