Grey Pinstripes: MBA Career Services Highlight
Each
month, we highlight data from our Beyond Grey
Pinstripes MBA survey that our readers may find of
particular interest. Check out the Career
Services offerings submitted by several schools:
Brandeis
University: Beginning in Fall 2010,
the Heller Office of
Career Services began offering a required career services series
for all incoming MBA students, "Launching Your Mission Driven
Management Career." This series is the result of collaboration
between the Career Services Office and MBA faculty to identify
priority areas for career development initiatives. The series allows
students to explore their professional and career development goals
within a larger social impact framework.
European
School of Management and Technology: ESMT offers
an add-on program to Full-time MBA graduates interested in interning
for 6-months in a leadership field practice, often in developing
regions. ESMT provides guidance during the project, organizes for
contracts with local partner organizations, and gives financial
support including cost of living and travel.
Thunderbird
School of Global Management Since 2005, Thunderbird
has run an annual 3-day CSR TREK, looking across industries and
sectors at the way the relationship between business and society is
changing to incorporate a broader set of preferred stakeholder
outcomes. Recent visits included Accenture (sustainability
practice), Adina Beverage Company, Business for Social
