2 Welcome from the President Table of Contents 2 2 On behalf of the MBA Career Services Council board of directors, I would like to welcome you to the 5th Annual European Conference. This conference focuses on the trends in MBA recruitment in Europe and provides a platform uniquely created by MBA CSC to facilitate discussion and best practices between business schools and corporations. The European Conference engages a diverse audience of participants from Europe, Asia, Canada and the United States providing a rich atmosphere for exchange of ideas around the increasingly global profile of MBA graduates. The wide range of countries where employment is secured by graduates coupled with the unique program portfolio offered by each school continues to influence the importance of tracking and accurately reflecting MBA employment statistics. The Standards will provide an update on employment standards designed to equip you to best collect and communicate your data. This data will allow prospective students to easily understand the unique profile of your program and help global employers present opportunities which align well with your graduates. I would like to express my sincere thanks to the entire conference committee for creating this special event, and particular thanks go to Marcel Kalis and the European School of Management and Technology (ESMT) for so generously providing their facilities. Enjoy the discussion over the next few days and welcome to Berlin!

In a moderated discussion, you ll have the chance to ask questions of an MBA student panel representing a diverse range of EU schools. Moderated by Dory Grandia, Coach & Presentation Skills Trainer, Rotterdam School of Management, Erasmus University Corporate Panel Once we ve heard from the students, we ll take a look at MBA recruitment with the help of several panelists representing the corporate side.

A student is a client of our services and has his or her own set of motivations and needs, but to a corporate relation, a school is producing potential candidates who need to meet a complex set of criteria in order to be recruited. After establishing in the morning the challenges we face as CS professionals in delivering quality - and keeping our sanity - we ll have the chance to hear the student perspective before lunch and the corporate perspective after lunch. Referencing some of the issues we ve discussed in sessions at past conferences with Daniel Porot and James Waldroop, at the end of the day, we ll look at some ways to renew our approach this complex, ongoing relationship. Moderated by: Dory Grandia and Marcel Kalis Student & Corporate Development During this session, you ll have the opportunity to foster your own development and improve your ability to develop your students strengths.

Delivered by Stephan Weidinger, Corporate Development Manager at HEC Paris. Webinar: Recruiting Talent in Europe Rapid change in today s world means that recruiters are required to access increasingly diverse pools of talent, quickly and cheaply. MBA schools in Europe typically have very international groups of students - often in excess of 90% of the class coming from outside the school s country. This webinar will help recruiters understand how to access this talent, providing guidance on recruiting processes, timelines, etc. with access to a panel of careers centre staff from European schools. This session will take place live here, and be broadcast as a webinar in the U.S. Moderated by Derek Walker, Director of Careers at Saïd Business School, University of Oxford.

Ask your colleagues which platforms work best for them. Career services & corporate reps only. Moderated by: Tony Somers, MBA Director of Career Management Center, HEC Career Services for EMBAs: An increasing number of schools are providing career services to their EMBA classes, and an increasing number of EMBAs are not company-sponsored.

Moderated by: Aliya Ali-Afzal, Associate Director Careers, EMBA and MBA, Hult International Business school. Career Services at small schools: Smaller schools don t have the advantage (or the burden) of economies of scale. Share ideas for encouraging corporate relationships and providing effective career services to small classes. Moderated by: Brian Marrinan, MBA Careers, UCD Michael Smurfit Graduate Business School Corporate Relationships: There are still some good-old-fashioned on-campus recruiters out there, but most are a dying breed.

Moderated by: Aidan Hetherington, Careers and Corporate Relations Manager, University of Edinburgh Business School Employment reporting and MBACSC standards: MBACSC board members past and present will be available on a walk-in basis to answer questions in one-to-one or small group format.
