Conference in Spain

EFMD Launches New Career-Services Network

EFMD Career Services NetworkBrussels (BE), July 2013 - At the request of the EFMD membership, EFMD is launching a new networking group focused on career services. The first conference of this new network will be hosted by IE Business School, Madrid, Spain on 20 - 22 November.

For the launch of the 2013 EFMD Career Services Network, the steering committee has designed an excellent programme that will be attractive to people in charge of and responsible for taking strategic decisions in the field of career services. Under the conference theme 'Developing a Successful Career-Services Strategy in Your School', participants will investigate, discuss, and explore a broad range of issues related to career services such as

  • an overall picture of career services by Universum that will explore student trends in career services, but also consider the students’ and employers’ perspective on career centres
  • the strategic importance of career services for a business school
  • job mobility
  • internationalisation

... and much more.


The conference will also allow plenty of time after each session for participants to take a closer look at each of the different topics by sharing experiences and best practices with colleagues and peers from other institutions.

The meeting will be chaired by Amber Wigmore Álvarez, Executive Director of Career Services at IE Business School.
