Welcome from the Career Development Office!
Dear Executive MBA Class of 2027,
Welcome to Rice Business! On behalf of the Career Development Office (CDO), I am thrilled to welcome you to our vibrant community. We are genuinely excited to get to know each of you and support you on your career journey. Many of you are pursuing the MBA to advance your career, facilitate a post-MBA career transition, or pursue entrepreneurial ventures. The CDO is here to serve as a resource and active partner to ensure you achieve your career goals and navigate your career path with confidence!
As a Rice Business EMBA student, you have access to exclusive resources, including:
Career Coaching & Advising: Marie Bergeron will be your career advisor and coach here in the CDO. Marie brings a wealth of knowledge and experience coaching executives across many industries and functional roles. Other members of the CDO advising team may also provide coaching.
Career Management Workshops: As part of the Executive MBA program, a select number of career management workshops are scheduled throughout the academic year. Alumni and friends visit to speak to EMBA students about starting businesses, transitioning into leadership roles, managing global teams, executive compensation, working with recruiters, and much more.
Self-Assessment Tools: CareerLeader is offered at no cost to all Executive MBA students. Marie is available to discuss and interpret the results with you.
Job Postings: Rice Business maintains an active network of employers who routinely post jobs to our internal recruiting platform. While there are occasionally higher-level roles, the majority of positions in the system are targeted at more junior levels. These roles do not reflect the caliber of positions suited for your experience. For higher-level opportunities, we encourage you to work closely with Marie to land roles that match your expertise. EMBA students are also encouraged to post their company’s job opportunities on the site for the benefit of fellow students.
There are many additional services and benefits provided to our Executive MBA students. Marie and I look forward to meeting you all during the Executive MBA Forum to take a deeper dive. In the meantime, connect with me via LinkedIn. Go Owls!
