“Success in today’s labour market demands adaptability and strategic thinking, as well as interpersonal, analytical, and AI skills. We are proud to equip our London Business School graduates with these skills, as well as the lifelong career management tools they need, to ensure they find the right job – not just any job – for their first role after graduation and every career move they make in the future.”
