Business schools collaborate to add value

The first Midlands MBA Career Fair is being held on June 4th at Aston Villa conference centre. It is a collaborative event, organised by four of the UK's leading Business Schools all based in this region, Aston, Birmingham, Nottingham & Warwick.

This new initiative is designed to increase employment opportunities for our MBA students and build stronger relationships with regional, national & international employers. The event will also act as a showcase for a highly skilled, adaptable workforce capable of supporting growth in the UK economy.

With over 300 students in attendance the event will prove a great opportunity for employers to identify new talent. All have been subjected to a demanding selection process, have attained at least one first degree, bring with them an average of six years work experience and are looking for their next employment opportunity.

Throughout their MBA studies they have expanded their management knowledge through first rate academic teaching, practical project work and also benefitting from the wide range of skills from within their MBA group. Coming from over 30 different countries spanning the UK, EMEA, Americas, Oceania and Asia, these are the people who will become the business leaders of tomorrow.

"Warwick Business School has become one of the world's leading business schools by being creative, professional, academically excellent and having the ability to respond to the rapidly changing needs of business and industry. By entering into this collaboration, we are providing an attractive showcase for our students and offering a convenient service to potential employers", said Professor Mark Taylor, Dean of Warwick Business School.
