The School has been keeping close contact with the University Employment Guidance Centre and delivers recruitment information to students via the Employment Information Net of the University. “Career Development” column on the MBA Centre’s website is designed for issuing recruitment information, offering career psychological counseling, and career guidance, etc. For more details, see the website of the MBA Centre.
The School Career Development Centre actively communicates with the School Employment Guidance Centre, and offers links to the University’s career guidance columns,such as “University Students Vocational Aptitude Tests”, “Pre-career Online School”, “Employment and Entrepreneurship Classroom”, “China University Students Employment Knowledge Service Platform”, “Employment and Entrepreneurship Studies”, etc.
1.2 Career development training and recommendation
The School provides students with specialized knowledge by offering series of lectures and minor courses. For instance, the famous specialists or managers in human resources management are invited to give lectures. The MBA Centre also cooperates with professional training institutions to offer basic training in working ethics and professionalism to students as well as improve their resume writing and job application skills, etc.
On the basis of good relationships with relevant enterprises, the School provides students with company-visit, internships and work opportunities so as to help them participate in the management of actual enterprises to enrich their real-world experience in the form of practice project. For details, see Appendix 9.8 List of Internship Bases of School of Business Administration ZUEL.
In addition, the School, attaching great importance to the career development feedback of the MBA alumni, has made up ZUEL School of Business Administration MBA/EMBA Graduate Survey and ZUEL School of Business Administration MBA/EMBA Alumni Feedback Survey respectively to follow the students’ career development and collect their feedback, which will greatly benefit employment guidance.
1.3 Employer survey
The SBA, giving priority to employers’ expectation on students, via establishing strategic cooperative relationship with them and irregular employment survey, designs and integrates innovative strategies to follow closely the changing demands of employers on the MBA talents. The School irregularly conducts surveys on employers and medium-level and high-level professional managers nationally by distributing online and paper questionnaires with a view to understanding the group characteristics of MBA students and their employment preferences as well as asking employers and the third-party institutes to offer effective suggestions for optimizing talent fostering in the view of talent demands. The surveys show that the employers have relatively higher recognition of the quality of our MBA students. They agree that our MBA students are equipped with solid foundation of professional knowledge, good comprehensive qualities, flexible adaptation and good potentials for career development. They owe the quality MBA students to the following factors: scientific and proper training scheme, well-defined structure of curricula and appropriate teaching contents.
