About Us
Metizo’s mission is to provide personal development programs to companies, and to higher education and government organizations.
Metizo’s learning philosophy is based on recognition of individual differences in defining “success” according to life goals, values and interests. At the same time we believe that individual development is most effective in a social group with peer feedback and team learning. Metizo’s philosophy does not represent a particular religion or school of psychology: we respect cultural and spiritual diversity.
Metizo was established in January 2002 to provide personal development programs to business and education. Founded in France, from the beginning, the Metizo concept was to be an international network of locations serving partners globally.
In July of 2002, Metizo set up its first subsidiary in Beijing, adding a residential program for individual students. Since then we have begun to work with a number of well-known multi-national companies, as well as with business schools and universities.
In 2003, we established an office in Marseille to manage a personal development certificate program for a thousand students annually, in partnership with Euromed Marseille business school.
In 2006, we opened an office in Singapore, expanding our operations further into the Asia-Pacific region. Another office is planned for Silicon Valley.
The company is growing quickly because the need for talent management and personal development is exploding, not only in the fast-developing countries but also in the USA and Europe.
The company’s programs and services draw on 20 years of experience of international experts in personal development, corporate training and higher education. Metizo is the first company to develop a personal development certification system for international companies and is the only company to provide courses for academic credit in leading MBA programs in Europe and Asia.
Metizo is developing new programs and doing research to improve existing processes. We are adding more senior professionals who can lead the business as well as continuing to attract highly talented young people. We are moving into integrated partnerships with market leaders in the corporate word and higher education as they improve their personal development value chains. Our growth still has a laser focus: key regions, dream partners, innovative projects, and top people.
