In 2015, as the world economy showed clear signs of recovery from the crisis, setting new levels of competitiveness in the job markets, the Career Management Center rose to the challenge of generating opportunities for IE students globally.

We are certainly very proud of our achievements. We strengthened the core career content in the program curricula, continued to provide personalized, sector-specific career advising and have seen an incremental exposure to recruiters all over the world. However, this is merely one aspect of the benefits that our well equipped International MBA students enjoy.

With the aim to train, advise and assist our students and alumni in their job search, we are happy to report that we have developed a well rounded approach to career development.

Our International MBA (IMBA) program is designed to limit time away from the workplace while providing a complete International MBA experience, which extends beyond academic achievement to include global networking, projects and business and leadership initiatives.

As a result, 92% of the 2014-2015 graduates secured a job within 3 months of graduation. Approximately 38% of the class joined companies in Consulting and Financial services but other sectors such as Consumer Goods (12%) and Technology (16%) continue to gain preference amongst our students.

With regards to functions, we have a strong 29% in Marketing & Sales, while a growing number accepted a job in Consulting (20%) and in Finance/Accounting (17%).

With regards to geographical destination, 32% of our graduates decided to work in Europe and 31% in Latin America, and we saw an increase in placements in North America and Asia.

In terms of geographical mobility, graduates from North America (46%) and Middle East and North Africa (MENA) (40%) regions showed the highest rates of regional mobility.

These new graduates joined the ranks of the more than 50,000 IE alumni who are based in more than 100 countries, in both public and private sectors and all types of industries with the aim of creating value for their communities.

II. Career Choices

The diversity of our student body results in an interest in jobs in all types of companies, multinationals and SMEs, private and public, across a wide range of industries. It is a challenging situation for the Career Management Center, but it also allows us to serve all types of recruiters worldwide, making sure they always find a pool of qualified candidates among our students.

While Financial services and consulting are still the first industries of choice, Technology is becoming a very attractive sector for our students, accounting for 16%, while Consumer Goods accounts for 12%.

Regarding Functions, the main feature to highlight this year is an important increase to 29% in Marketing and Sales positions from functions other than Consulting and Finance, which still account for 37% of the total.

Taking into account that our class profile has become much more global, with an increase in the number of students from regions other than Europe, 32% secured a job in Europe, 31% in Latin America, 13% in Asia and 11% in North America. This is also a clear sign that IE Business School assists students in finding opportunities around the world, by cultivating relationships with recruiters in different regions, facilitating contacts with our vast network of alumni, and by means of the 28 IE representative offices on all continents.

over 125 companies attended the ie career Fair organized on the IE campus and over 100 companies conducted company presentations. HR representatives from local and international companies had the opportunity to meet our students, and initiate contacts that led to interviews and selection processes both on- and off-campus. Other companies chose to conduct on-campus presentations or post their job opportunities on our online job board.

Besides making these opportunities available to our students, we urge them to take responsibility in managing their careers, making the most of all the activities we organize to bring them in contact with recruiters at early stages of the MBA.
