Robust support that boosts employability

An EMBA from Chicago Booth can be a game-changer — just ask the graduates who’ve advanced in their careers, equipped with the distinctive Booth advantage: career readiness, increased confidence, and a solid support system. Central to this is the Global Career and Leadership Development (GCLD) team, which offers leadership coaching and career guidance tailored to EMBA students.

“The Global Career and Leadership Development (GCLD) team at Chicago Booth provides leadership coaching and career expertise to support students throughout their programme,” says EMBA student, Atri Sen.

Beyond the classroom, the GCLD team offers executive-level students an array of resources, from skill-building workshops and personalised coaching to a strong alumni network and dedicated support. These experiences blend theory with real-world application to ensure that every student is prepared for leadership at the highest level.

“I set up bi-weekly calls with a coach on the Booth team. These sessions gave me the confidence to explore opportunities in areas beyond my professional expertise and consider jobs that could be potential ‘career pivots’.”
