• 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, including professional development sessions over the Friday lunch hour. 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. We welcome ideas for topics and speakers from our EMBA students, as well.
• Self-Assessment Tools. CareerLeader is offered at no cost to all Executive MBA students. Marie, I and the coaching team are 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. Executive MBA students have free access to these postings. EMBA students are also encouraged to post their companies’ job opportunities on the site for the benefit of other student colleagues.
