Master of Business Administration (MBA)
Career Development: Your career, our focus.
At IMD, we know what brings you here: you’re ready to take your career to the next level or in a new direction entirely. The Career Development Center (CDC) is here to help you get there.
As soon as you accept your place in the program, we start working with you to understand where you’re coming from, where you want to go, and what you need to get there. Maybe you’re looking to change sectors, move across borders, or step into a bigger role. With our support, you’ll build a path that’s focused, intentional, and true to you.
The CDC is a dedicated team of multilingual professionals with experience across both business and education. We bring together deep expertise, real-world perspective, and a shared commitment to helping you succeed, not just in your next role, but over the long haul.
Our mission is simple: to equip you with the tools, confidence, and connections to thrive in a global job market. Through personalized coaching, practical workshops, recruiter events, and access to industry insights, we’ll help you turn your goals into action.
How we position you to land on top roles
Career development at IMD follows a structured three-phase journey that runs across the MBA year. It’s designed to help you stay focused, build momentum, and make meaningful progress toward your goals.
Along the way, you’ll benefit from one-on-one coaching, peer and alumni mentoring, industry speakers, sector-specific mock interviews, and direct engagement with recruiters. Everything is built to help you grow your confidence, sharpen your strategy, and take action at the right time.
Your full ecosystem of support
You’ll be surrounded by the right people, tools, and insights to help you navigate every decision with confidence. And this even includes AI-driven tools designed to simulate different career paths, highlight trade-offs, and surface opportunities you may not have considered.
You could be weighing up location, function, industry, or all three. We help you map it out and move forward, informed.
What you can expect from us:
- 1:1 career coaching with experienced advisors
- Workshops and masterclasses led by recruiters, alumni, and industry experts
- Sector-specific clubs that create space for peer learning and practical insights
- Mentoring from IMD’s global alumni network
