The career management team works with Professional MBA students to support your career growth throughout the program. Whether you are an Accelerator (planning to continue in the same industry and type of work), a Switcher (looking to change the type of work you do), or an Explorer (considering whether you want to Accelerate or Switch), we can help set you on a path to advancement and further success.
We provide direct access to tools that enhance your hiring value:
- CliftonStrengths training to help you develop your talents, articulate your value, and build high-functioning teams at work and at school

- Self-paced tools for developing case interview skills, Excel and PowerPoint for consulting
- AI-based tools for mock interview practice, as well as for honing your résumé, and LinkedIn
