The Career Management Center (CMC) actively engages with companies to understand their business and talent acquisition needs, promoting the Lisbon MBA talent through face-to-face visits and invitations to present on campus. Students are invited to submit their personal resumés for the Lisbon MBA Talent Book that is shared with companies and the alumni community.
With its symbiotic relationship between thinking and doing, theory and practice, the Lisbon MBA integrates hands-on learning opportunities throughout the curriculum. The International MBA includes a period of action learning in its program, from in-company assignments to international consulting labs or entrepreneurship hubs, which will allow you to apply all your MBA learnings in practice. The Career Management Center will support you throughout the process
The CMC Services Include: Career Counseling, Career Skills Workshops and Webinars, Talks with C-level Executives and Talent Promotion through the publishing and distribution of your class Talent Book.
The Lisbon MBA does not provide placement service. However, the Career Management Center offers EMBA students support, through career counseling, to clarify and define their career strategy for a meaningful career journey.
During the 1st year students are focused on developing their transversal business skills and it is in 2nd year that they are more prepared to define what are their career goals, thus benefitting from CMC counseling and services.
Students who are sponsored by their companies to do the MBA can only participate in certain CMC activities, such as talks with C-level executives and career workshops and webinars. If you would like to have full access to CMC services, you will need to provide us with an authorization letter from your company. The CMC will be able to provide a template letter to this effect.
CMC will support you with career counseling to build your career strategy and you will have access to the platform MBA Exchange for job postings.
Companies recruiting at an executive level look for a specific profile in terms of professional experience, personality and cultural fit. Usually, only a short candidate list responds to all the criteria. CMC provides the annual EMBA Talent Book to companies which in return can make specific candidate requests directly to candidates.
Although companies may be active in searching for EMBA students, their approach is more on a one-to-one basis, making specific requests to the Career Management Center or through the Talent Book.
If you are a recruiter and you want to maximise your talent sourcing efforts, the Lisbon MBA Career Management Centre can assist you. We know each organization is different and we are happy to support you on the best choices to achieve your company’s talent acquisition strategy.
