Did you know? From your very first day at SKEMA, you gain access to a valuable asset: the SKEMA Alumni network. Picture this: a community of 60,000 graduates from 130 nationalities, active in more than 145 countries worldwide. This is a golden opportunity to expand your network and shape your professional future!

But what exactly is SKEMA Alumni?

The term "Alumni" comes from Latin and means "former student." Here, it signifies that you are part of an immense community of professionals who have passed through SKEMA, working in diverse fields such as finance, marketing, consulting, entrepreneurship, and management. And the good news? You’re already part of the network! From the moment you join, you gain access to incredible resources: internship and apprenticeship offers, mentors ready to assist you, and connections that could transform your future.

 

How does it work, and how can you make the most of it?

At SKEMA, the Alumni Office is present on every campus and manages the community in collaboration with alumni ambassadors. This engagement is based on several segmentation criteria (geographical location, years since graduation, sector of activity, job function, etc.), enabling access to a variety of services:

 

  • Professional Opportunities : The SKEMA Alumni network is a goldmine with many exclusive job offers. Thanks to alumni recommendations, you can discover hidden roles and be connected with influential recruiters.
     
  • Mentoring and Personalised Advice : Many alumni are ready to guide you. Whether through the six-month mentoring programme or Flash Mentoring sessions, you can receive advice to avoid common pitfalls and propel your career. More information here : SKEMA Mentoring.
