Career Planning
Our Career Services Center focuses on more than just getting you an internship or postgraduate job. We help you acquire the career-planning and job-search skills you will need for a lifetime of professional success, mobility, and career satisfaction.
From the summer before you enter our program until well after graduation, we work with you to:
As a Broad MBA student, you will complete an internship between your first and second year in the program to gain familiarity with a particular industry or employer where you will:
- Develop problem-solving and leadership skills
- Learn what duties and responsibilities a job entails and what skills are needed
- Apply the frameworks you learn in class to real-world situations
The internship experience exposes you firsthand to daily operations and issues of a company and enables you to explore what segment of an industry is right for you.
Valuable networking opportunities often lead to our MBAs accepting full-time jobs with the company with whom they did their internship.
International students
Broad is home to some of the best and brightest international students. When hired, they add significant value to their employer.
If you’re an international MBA student, you will learn what you need to know about the current state of work visas and policies and regulations for obtaining a job in the United States during a workshop hosted by Broad and led by immigration attorneys.
Many of our international MBAs land the postgraduate job of their dreams, with a majority of them remaining in the United States in various industries and geographic locations.
