As sustainability becomes ever more important to organisations around the globe, companies are demanding graduates with the knowledge and skill sets to help them navigate new business environments and transform operations. A recent LinkedIn study found that for the past few years the demand for these skills has significantly outstripped supply. Our programme aims to remedy this by providing you with the right kind of knowledge and business skills to make a positive impact in organisations.
Global Business & Sustainability students often have their first job lined up before they graduate. Most others find theirs within a few months of graduation, and many say finding a job was relatively easy, particularly when they invested in their career progress via our Personal Career Narrative core course or via career events for MSc GBS students and for RSM students.
Here’s where GBS alumni work:
- around 60% work in the private sector or founded their own company
- 25% work for governments
- 15% work for non-profit or non-governmental organisations (NGOs) or have founded their own NGO.
Career possibilities include designing and implementing circular projects, estimating risk profiles for country investments, being a policy maker, being a consultant in sustainability or ethical trading, auditing responsible investments, or joining the sustainability team of any organisation.
