1/ CEMS student selection

CEMS CPs have the opportunity to influence the profile of students entering the programme. Companies are invited to join interview panels and assessment centres, and to apply their real-life perspective to the evaluation of selection criteria fulfilment.

2/ Block seminar (MIM Advanced Management Seminar)

One-week intensive seminars on Advanced Management topics kick off the MIM programme in all member schools. Corporate Partners are encouraged to offer their training content, facilities and/or other logistical support. In return, companies benefit from strong image branding vis-à-vis CEMS students at the earliest stage of their CEMS MIM studies.

3/ Develop or take part in CEMS MIM courses

The cooperation of companies with university professors on CEMS course delivery enables corporate partners to contribute to the learning process of the CEMS cohort as well as strengthening their image within the CEMS community.

4/ Business Projects

International teams of CEMS students working on a consultancy-like project are co-tutored by both academic and corporate representatives. Corporate Partners are asked to provide a real-life business problem and to appoint an advisor supporting the team work. In return, companies will be presented with the results of the study and concrete solutions on the problem they raised, while having the opportunity of scouting emerging talent for potential hiring.

5/ Skill Seminars

Typically one-day (min. half-day or max. 2-day) interactive training seminars help students develop skills relevant to management life. Corporate partners design the seminar content (usually simulation of a business life situation) in cooperation with the member school and provide a trainer who holds the session and gives feedback to students.

6/ Internship

A minimum 10-week internship performed outside of the student’s home country represents a fundamental requirement of the CEMS MIM programme. By offering an internship position to a CEMS student, Corporate Partners have a unique opportunity to test student’s abilities over a reasonable period of time. Upon completion of the internship, each student must receive from the company a CEMS Internship Evaluation Form assessing the student’s performance.
