Graduates of the EDHEC Global MBA continue to appeal to a range
of employers, with 85% receiving their first job offer within three
months of finishing their studies. The technology sector is the
leading choice for EDHEC MBAs, followed by the consulting and
financial sectors. The three sectors combined account for about 50%
of our graduates – with top-tier employers including Amazon,
Bloomberg, Deloitte, Four Seasons, Mars and Roche. A number of
graduates chose small and mid-sized companies, including emerging
start-ups, while 11% of EDHEC MBAs started their own companies.
EDHEC MBAs continue to have high levels of contact with
organizations around the world; depending on their specialization
students spent a week learning hands-on with companies in
Singapore, San Francisco, London and Paris. Further events, such as
Global Talent Day in Paris and the Finance Career Days in Nice,
bring the MBAs face-to-face with leading companies, while our
Senior Leaders Series bring managers from around the world into our
amphitheatres.
As the world renews its focus on justice, equal rights and
sustainability we are proud that the high participation in EDHEC's
trip to Cape Town reflects
the importance of these issues to this generation of leaders.
True to their global outlook, well over half of our MBAs achieved
the 'triple jump' of changing location, sector and job function –
with 53% working outside of their home country.
The modern workplace continues to evolve and change, with the
Covid-19 crisis guaranteeing that much more is to come. This
generation of EDHEC MBAs in sectors like technology and health have
already joined other alumni to brief our current students on those
changes, and we thank them for that. We also thank all those
organizations, leaders and alumni who have worked with us on our
courses, projects, treks and networking events. Your engagement is
vital in ensuring that today's EDHEC MBAs are well-prepared for
their next step into a future with fewer certainties, but more
promise.

shared experiences among a diverse student body, knowledge,
expertise and skills acquired throughout the programme. The outcome
of this journey was landing an MBA internship at Schneider Electric
in the marketing and strategy department, followed by a full-time
position as an area manager at Amazon in France. i am very grateful
to EDHEC and the highly-motivated careers services team for the
personalized approach, both with students and with companies. EDHEC
truly stands by its motto “Make an impact”, it certainly does with
the quality education it provides and the opportunities it
creates.”

leadership seminars and visits to connect companies with our
students. The Company Treks are one of the highlights of the
corporate programme. The objective of the treks are two-fold:
Give leading companies a platfom with our MBA talent, sharing
career and business opportunities and engaging in high-level
exchanges and interactions
Expose our students to new industries and markets, allowing the
opportunity to interact with senior leaders and EDHEC alumni
Dublin Tech Trek 2020A 5 DAy ExPEDITION fROM THE fRENCH RIvIERA
TO EUROPE'S 'SILICON vALLEy'
“This experience is a unique opportunity for both students and
companies. Students had the chance to learn more about top global
tech companies, gain insights into an international job market and
to meet with senior managers and recruiters. Companies don’t always
have the time to come to our campuses to meet and interact with top
MBA talent which is why we decided to develop the Company Trek
concept to enable senior executives and recruiters the opportunity
to connect with our MBA participants.”

eyes to the opportunity to work for a major tech company in Europe
after graduation. This kind of support is only possible because of
the rich EDHEC alumni presence in Dublin.”
