36 CEMS Corporate Partners, 220 Corporate Partner representatives (including 50 CEMS alumni), 950 students and alumni participating, 459 pre-scheduled interviews for 348 students and 20 skill seminars for 453 students.
Over 1000 students, alumni and corporate partner representatives present in Budapest for the 2012 edition.
Now into its fourth year as a stand-alone event hosted by Corvinus University of Budapest, the CEMS Career Forum welcomed over 1,000 students, alumni, careers and corporate relations experts from CEMS member schools and representatives and recruiters from 36 corporate partners.
Held on 16-17 November, the two-day formula comprised the main recruitment events (company presentations, pre-scheduled interviews and the Saturday job fair), but also vital learning opportunities. While over 450 students followed 20 CEMS MIM-accredited skill seminars, corporate relations managers from CEMS member schools enjoyed valuable networking and knowledge-sharing time with recruitment experts from some of the many companies present in Budapest.
As in 2010 and 2011, the pre-scheduled interview option was made available to alumni, as a conscious move to offer more careers-related services to CEMS graduates already in employment but seeking to make a job or career switch. This again made for a wider and more varied pool of talent from which companies could select the profiles of the greatest interest.
