Networking Opportunities

At IUM many initiatives and opportunities are available to help the students network with members of the business community.

Mentorship Program

The mentorship program - part of the "Personal Development Program" - connects eligible MBA and Masters students with local and international business leaders who volunteer to share their knowledge and experience with program participants who wish to remain updated with specific industry trends and to better understand the "rules of the game".

The mentorship program's mission is to provide students with a unique and valuable opportunity to develop a relationship with a professional in order to gain a unique insight into a specific industry or practice.

The IUM Mentorship Program is unique for three main reasons:

1- All the mentors have or have already had leadership "C-Level" positions within companies, and most of them are currently CEO or chairman of multinational companies.
2- The mentors are required to meet the student at least four times a year and most of them accept to play the role of a "professional coach".
3- The Office of Career Development monitors the mentorship program to enable each student to be connected with a business leader working in their targeted career path.

"The program is an extremely valuable experience for our students, and every year, business executives from various industries - private banking, the luxury leisure industry, retail, manufacturing, etc., as well as successful entrepreneurs, participate and join our exclusive club of mentors" says Sophie de Lorenzo, Director of The Office of Career Development.

Professional Conferences

IUM organizes and sponsors high profile conferences around topics within the University's specialization in order to give the students the chance to establish direct contact with professionals as well as starting to create their own network.

Students are also invited to participate in a wide range of professional events such as the Monaco Hedge Funds Conference, The Monaco Luxury Marketing Summit, the NeXt Generation Entrepreneurs Forum, or the International Continuous Audit Conference.



Employer branding activities and corporate presentations

Corporate recruiters and placement consultants are invited by the University to present their activities, business topics, recruitment process, and job requirements.

Monaco Career Day

The Monaco Career Day (MCD) is an HR event organized by the IUM Office of Career Services that connects HR managers and recruiters from Europe. It also brings together talented IUM students, from more than 20 different countries, as well as IUM’s alumni.

The 2nd MCD took place on April 15th and 16th 2010 around the theme "Talent diversity – a growing priority for many businesses".

The school welcomed recruiters, HR Directors and talent managers to the second day of the two-day event to participate in roundtable discussions on talent management and diversity in the workplace and recruitment processes.
The panel discussion started with a re-definition of talent and its performance measurements within companies. Then all the panelists described their own challenges in inducting and managing talent diversity within their international corporation.
