Executive MBA career change management

Take control of your career transition
The tools and assistance you need to progress your career

Many self-funded candidates in the Executive MBA wish to use their ESMT experience to change their careers – whether it be company, industry, country, or functional role.

ESMT works with candidates wishing to transition their career using a tailored, individualized approach that focuses on personal one-on-one discussions with career change professionals and recruiters.

How Career Services Helps You

Career support and guidance

Students wishing to embark on a career change during the EMBA can contact ESMT during the application process for a CV feedback review. The Admissions team provides first feedback on the candidate's fit with ESMT and where synergy is possible for career change.

Optional individual executive career coaching is available for self-funded EMBA participants. It is expected to focus on personal and professional development to advance students’ careers. Individual coaching provides an additional opportunity, in addition to group-coaching and peer-coaching, for participants to self-reflect, explore options and assess them. 

Career transitions

When feasible, Career Services invites Career Change EMBAs to the full-time MBA Transitions in Practice seminars, company events, and recruitment events. EMBA candidates wishing to participate are given event schedules well in advance.

Entrepreneurship

EMBA alumni have used their new skills and knowledge to develop new companies. Interested students have a variety of resources at their fingertips. ESMT’s active Entrepreneurship Club has an extensive network, particularly in the Berlin startup and venture capital community. Many ESMT MBA and EMBA alumni have started their own company or work in very young, dynamic organizations – students gain access to our rich alumni network from the first day of class.

Networking opportunities

The ESMT Berlin corporate and alumni networks are strong and closely connected around the globe. EMBA participants can choose to work individually with Career Services and the EMBA Faculty Lead to arrange one-to-one networking opportunities with relevant members.

Alumni Speak

When deciding between different business schools for my EMBA, a focus on personal development both as an individual and as a peer coach was an important decision criterion – and one that contributed substantially towards my choice of ESMT Berlin.
