graduates

95% of the 2011 CEMS graduates found a job within 3 months

Audrey Clegg Group Vice PresidentHead of Talent Management ABB

Mirko Warschun Partner AT Kearney CEMS alumnus 1997

“For ABB, CEMS opens avenues for collaboration with a worldwide market – CEMS students, alumni, member schools and corporate partners truly span the globe.”

“CEMS MIM curriculum involvement offers us the chance to bring real-life business cases into the classroom and develop them further with a highly talented cohort. This is a win-win situation for Corporate Partners and students alike.”

Corporate Partners benefit from an exclusive annual package comprising advisory, branding, networking and recruiting services to ensure they get the best out of CEMS and CEMS Corporate Partnership.

Many of the standard services can be tailored to a company’s specific needs, with the help of dedicated careers and corporate relations professionals.

• Raising corporate brand visibility

• CEMS offers an array of print and online communications campaigns, including multi-criteria targeted mailshots and database searches, web and print editorial and advertising spaces, and exposure within a CEMS Social Media community of over 10,000 subscribers.

• Companies interact directly with students and academics when contributing to the CEMS curriculum and also via a host of student-run events within CEMS member schools.

Benefits & Opportunities for CEMS Corporate Partners

45% of CEMS graduates

begin their career abroad

Kourosh Bahrami Corporate Vice PresidentAutomotive Key Accounts / Henkel AG & Co. KGaA CEMS alumnus 1999

“It is no coincidence that Henkel is a prolific recruiter of CEMS graduates – they have passion for excellence in all they do, are truly global with a strong business skill set while interested in responsible and sustainable leadership.”

Hein Knaapen Global Head of Human Resources ING

“When you see how rigorously CEMS students are selected into a top-class programme like the CEMS MIM you know that true graduate talent will emerge at the end. This quality standard is important for companies like ING, as we are focussing on developing the ‘leading bankers of the future’.”

• Recruiting top talent

• Corporate Partners have a number of tools at their disposal to help target potential recruits, including an online student CV search tool and the online Job Market for internship and recruitment posting.

• CEMS runs two headline recruitment events per year: the Virtual Career Fair (in April) and the Career Forum (in November). The 1-day online event enables companies to receive, interview and network with students and graduates via their own fully customisable booth. The physical 2-day event offers numerous possibilities, from the delivery of Skill Seminars and Company Presentations through to pre-scheduled interviews and participation in a day-long job fair.

• Contributing to one of the world’s top-ranked Master’s in Management programmes

• The CEMS Master’s in International Management (CEMS MIM) blends academic theory with real-life business practice. This would be impossible without the contribution of Corporate Partners to student selection, Skill Seminars, Business Projects, Block Seminars and Courses, and internship and recruitment opportunities.

Consulting, Finance, Marketing and General Management are the

most popular functions occupied by CEMS

graduates

82% of CEMS graduates

“Interacting with students during the CEMS MIM programme provides a wonderful window into the kind of talent Novo Nordisk wants to interact with and recruit as ‘key people to be’.”

“By actively contributing to the CEMS Strategic Board for many years, L´Oréal have had the rare and exciting opportunity to accompany the development of international management education.”

CEMS students rate “working internationally”,

“assuming challenging tasks” and “developing an expertise”

as their top professional goals

Elke Thamm Head of Group Talent Wolseley Group CEMS alumna 2004

“As both a CEMS alumna and Corporate Partner, I can safely say no other academic network offers a similar breadth of learning, knowledge-sharing and recruiting possibilities.”

CEMS Corporate Partnership Structure & Management
