Career accelerator services

We make your career our first concern, both before and after you graduate from your MBA, and begin working with you on reaching your career objectives from day one. During the program we dedicate one full day a week to Careers, with an intense series of workshops and events. You will meet with employers, experts and alumni while also participating in company presentations, career fairs, meet-ups and discussion panels throughout your studies.
Once you are enrolled in the program, you can access our custom-built Career Center Platform and start networking!

In small groups you will acquire a step-by-step methodology to land your post-MBA job. Finding a job is all about proving you meet the requirements of the recruiter and showing that there is a match between these criteria and your strengths and experiences.
Through a series of dedicated workshops, you will:

• Create a strategy to reach your career goals
• Define transferrable competencies & skills
• Optimize your CV & LinkedIn profile
• Get prepared for job interviews
• Become adept at Pitching & Story Telling

You will have a dedicated Career Consultant to answer your questions on an individual basis. You can contact your Career Consultant directly to schedule a 1-on-1 session according to your availability by phone, email, or face to face.

During these sessions, you can:

• Review your tools (CV, LinkedIn profile)
• Prepare for an interview or simulate your presentation pitch
• Take stock of your internship / job search strategy
• Adapt your network strategy
• Work on your career plan
• Practice your salary negotiation

You will have access to several tools to support you in creating your job search strategy and improving your CV so that your profile is more attractive to employers.

Career development, like any other area of life, is as much about what you know as who you know. Access to a professional network is a powerful and building one should start as early as possible. The skill of networking is not about short-term gain as much as long-term connections. It is an approach that you should undertake and maintain throughout your career.
