COVID-19 has put the spotlight on healthcare – but where are the opportunities for leaders today? Alyona Segline, Head of Diversified Sectors, Career Centre
Nina Brener-Hellmund founded her first business as a 19-year-old Stanford University student.

The LBS Career Centre provides support in four ways:

Career coaching – one-to-one tailored support to give you a better understanding of who you are, what you have to offer and what is right for you

Career insights – you will build on your own research by accessing up to date information on employment trends and hiring practices, as well as geographic, sector and company insights.
As a general management programme, the MBA is good preparation for any job that requires general management competence. The MBA caters to people working across an increasingly wide range of industries – everything from finance, consultancy, manufacturing, to healthcare, tech and the luxury goods industry. Increasingly, some students use our MBA to help establish their own venture or return to help run a family business.
Whether for internships or full-time jobs, there are typically two different paths MBAs follow in recruitment - structured recruitment and direct hire recruitment.
Companies who want an ongoing, existing pipeline of MBAs have structured leadership/associate/general management programmes. Because they can plan ahead for their business needs, these roles tend to be more visible and competitive. The route to getting a structured internship is more predictable but the timing is less flexible.
Students may also pursue direct hire recruitment. These are roles offered throughout the year when a business need arises. Some are advertised and in addition there are many “hidden” or unadvertised opportunities. They are driven by your networking efforts and offer more flexibility as recruitment happens closer to the actual start date.
As a member of our alumni community we hope that you continue to engage with us for your career development needs. We run an annual programme of webinars, events and workshops to support you in your career and professional development. These cover a range of topics, from developing your personal brand to becoming a Non-Executive Director. We provide access to a range of resources and also offer alumni the opportunity to work with a career coach.
