Take your career to the next level.
Each year, more than 100 top firms come to our campus to explore specific career opportunities with our MBA candidates, supported by the job hunting tools supplied by Desautels Career Management.
We offer career development and preparation designed to meet the needs of each student through:
Career Advisors and Coaches
The Desautels MBA program has several full-time career coaches. Students are assigned a coach upon commencement of the program and begin working immediately with their coach to develop a clear sense of their strengths and target career path. Coaches continue to work with students over the course of the program, supporting key learnings from the professional development curriculum and providing personalized feedback and encouragement.
Stream Advisors
In addition to their full-time coaches, students have access to externally-focused stream advisors in various functional areas: Corporate Strategy and Consulting, Marketing, Business Analytics/Technology and Finance. Stream advisors spend much of their time engaging with employers to better understand their hiring needs and industry trends. Stream advisors transmit this information back to Desautels Career Management and provide consultations directly with students in order to support their professional preparation and job search strategy.
Professional Development Programming
Desautels Career Management has developed and implemented a comprehensive MBA professional development curriculum comprised of a combination of psychometric assessments, skill-building workshops and online resources, all of which are reinforced and supported by one-to-one coaching.
Curriculum elements include:
- Self-awareness and strengths-based psychometric assessments
- Industry and functional overviews
- Tools and resources for identifying target career paths
- Job search process training and resources
- Skills-based workshops such as Excel, resume, cover letter, interview preparation, building relationships, personal branding, structured thinking and communication, etc.
- Multiple rounds of mock interview practice
- Cultural adaptation workshops for international students
In addition to the core curriculum, Desautels Career Management offers several voluntary preparation streams including a 5-day Consulting Career Prep Program, a series of interactive business analytics workshops and an Analytics Ambassador program, and a series of specialized finance workshops in collaboration with the highly-regarded Marquee Group.
The Desautels MBA Mentoring Program
The Desautels MBA Mentoring Program at 捆绑SM社区 supports mentees (students) by offering mentoring relationships, learning events and networking opportunities. This allows our students to engage in significant dialogue with mid to senior level business leaders that will help them leverage their MBA experience in the workplace.
What makes the Desautels MBA different is that it鈥檚 a highly personalized program.
The MBA Career Management team meets on a weekly basis to discuss each student鈥檚 progress and how best to support them. That鈥檚 why we call ourselves the Desautels family, and that鈥檚 an important reason why our students experience such strong success in their internship and career search.
