4 Ways To Get Career Ready

66 percent of hiring managers consider new college grads ‘as unprepared for the work place’ (Adecco).

The big question facing students is how to increase the possibility of getting a job as soon as they graduate.

Les Roches answers this concern in four ways:

First, our students have significant exposure to experiential learning as well as academic learning. This provides them with the practical skills, the soft-skills, the leadership and competencies that ensure that the university education they get, is really useful.

Second, professional internships with top international brands are built into the academic curricula. By the time you graduate from Les Roches, your résumé will already include significant professional experience.

Third, we have a dedicated team of careers advisors who help you to work out your career pathway and be as prepared for the world of work as it is possible to be. You have one-on-one meetings in the course of your studies with careers advisors. Every semester, over 50 companies recruit on campus. Our global alumni network provides exclusive information about job openings (as well as friends around the world).

Fourth, we ensure our students graduate with the level of cross-cultural communication skills, global fluency and flexibility that companies, in whichever sector, find priceless. There are global opportunities for work experience and study (either the entire program, or semester transfers). Over 90 different nationalities work and live together on the Switzerland campus.

89% of Les Roches students graduate with one, or multiple job offers. Their problem is not ‘will I get a job’, but rather ‘which one should I take?’

Quite a nice problem to have.
