A Powerful Global Network

Your career success is important to CIMBA. That’s why we’re so delighted when we hear that attending CIMBA has offered many of our students not only the knowledge and expertise they need in their field, but also the leadership and personal development skills that resonate with recruiters and employers. In fact, 76 percent of our full-time MBA graduates get a job within three months of the end of the program and 98 percent receive a job within six months. For part-time graduates, 89 percent receive a promotion, change jobs or relocate to a different country for a job within one year.

Our growing number of CIMBA graduates has created a powerful alumni network of more than 10,000 in nearly 50 countries, and many of these alumni reach back to CIMBA to find interns, employees, consultants, and more. One of the best ways for you to connect to this powerful network is to join our CIMBA Alumni LinkedIn Group. Other career resources include:

Attend CIMBA Career Workshops in Italy and learn more about developing your career strategy.

Ask a CIMBA personal coach to review your resume based on your goals and vision. CIMBA has a comprehensive group of personal coaches in Italy who are here to help you succeed.

CIMBA also has deep connections to recruiters and companies in Italy and beyond. Many of these companies hire CIMBA students to work on consulting projects while they are in our program. They also reach out to find full-time employees!

Faculty introduce you to companies within our wide network and help you secure a position directly after graduate school. Not only will they get to know you as an individual, but they will help you leverage your international MBA experience to give you an upper hand in applying for management and multinational positions.
