How Insead Business School Allows its MBA Grads to change country of work, sector or functional area on leaving Insead


Today will be a short post.

Insead aims to allow its MBA students to change either country of work, sector or functional area on leaving Insead.  Here are some things (amongst others) that they do to help their students along.

Career Counseling and Character Profiling

Like most US MBA programs, the career services runs MBA students through a psychological test to analyse their character.  With an understanding of the character of each MBA student, the career services counselor will examine the database of jobs available and then steer the student towards a proper fit.  

Language Proficiency

Insead like most French business schools makes its students learn an additional third language.  This is highly useful as it makes Insead’s MBA students more globalised and able to be placed into new countries or job sectors.  After coming back from a French trip, I have learnt that a little language proficiency goes a long way into establishing trust and can propel you forward in another country.

Salary Negotiations Skills

Salary negotiation is an important skill to impart to students and it should be made compulsory for all MBA students.  This is an important lifeskill that one should pick up.  This would help in the salary rankings of Insead as well.

Thats all folks for today!!!
