As a Johnson Two-Year MBA student, the Career Management Center (CMC) provides you with industry-leading personalized service, coaching, and training that helps you develop into the strongest candidate possible for a competitive marketplace.
The first year of your MBA program will help you lay the foundation for your post-MBA career. From core classes, core teams, and career work groups, everything happens strategically to prepare you to excel at your internship and get the job you seek.
Through advising, networking, and skill development, you will experience how our foundational approach blends personalized development with connection cultivation and insider knowledge.
The process
We personally contact you to discuss your job and career goals before your very first semester, meaning our strategic partnership begins before you even arrive on campus. We will continue to work one-on-one with you to build a customized and systematic Individual Career Plan (ICP) for targeting people, companies, internships, and positions. The ICP acts as a living document we modify with you throughout the progression of your MBA and career planning.
