Career Services at BGI strives to meet the career needs of all of our students, including those in both MBA programs, the MA in Organizational Leadership program, and Certificate programs. To best serve students, we have formed two main goals for the 2013-2014 year:
- Connect with 80 percent of the student body.
- Achieve an 85 percent placement rate three months after 2014 Commencement.
In order to reach both of these goals, we have redesigned Career Services into a six-person team focused on four main areas:
- Job Postings: Alert students of jobs and career openings in the environmental and social sustainable business sectors.
- Career Counseling: Counsel students one-on-one and build student career counseling groups.
- Workshops: Hold timely, relevant workshops that will facilitate career placement and success.
- Placement: Align current students with alumni in industry concentrations and sector choices and facilitate appropriate post-graduation employment.
As of October 31st, we have already connected with 28 percent of the student body, and our placement rate from 2010-2012 averaged 82 percent. We are proud of our progress so far, and look forward to accomplishing even more this year.
If you are a current student, please attend a workshop, look at the Career Hub, or schedule an appointment with a career counselor to connect with Career Services. If you are not a current student, please inquire about our programs here.
