“The Rome Business School Career Fairs aim to be a real point of reference in the panorama of Italian and international employability . With over 100 multinationals involved every year, we are proud to be able to create effective bridges between talents and new professional opportunities, declares Florinda Orsini, head of the Career Center of the Rome Business School.
The Career Fair is just one of the many initiatives activated by the Rome Business School Career Center , which aim to create a personalized professional growth path for each student so that each can achieve their career goals. The innovations lie in a highly personalized path: the Career Starter, dedicated to those who want to excel in their first work experiences; the Career Mover , for students looking for an international job ; the Career Advancer for those who want to grow vertically ; and the Career Propeller dedicated to MBA students, to climb the world of entrepreneurship or pursue vertical career progression. These initiatives have led to 82.3% of students improving their skills in finding new job opportunities in 2022 and 86.2% now holding a job role of greater responsibility ( Employment Report 2023 data ).
“Our Employability Partners benefit from the Rome Business School Career Fair for the very balanced participation of national and international talents, for their solid ability to communicate the professional knowledge acquired during the master’s degree and for the overall level of professional preparation,” says Orsini .
During the last academic year, RBS students held 2311 interviews and attended over 100 dynamic activities such as workshops, webinars and company meetings that bring them closer to companies: 75.3% of students took advantage of the network of contacts offered by Rome Business School. To date, there are 1047 partner companies of Rome Business School, with which students develop a close relationship thanks to activities such as Business Practice Lab, Company shadowing , Company meetings, Guest Lectures , Capstone Project Challenge and Virtual Coffee with CEOs . All these initiatives contribute to 45% of students finding work before the end of the Master’s degree and 72% obtaining a salary increase . Getting to know these companies closely is also a source of inspiration for many young people who choose to start their own business: 31.8% of students are now entrepreneurs , also thanks to RBS4Entrepreneurship , the Rome Business School business incubator which since its launch in 2021 it incubated over 150 projects.
The Career Fair confirms itself as a unique opportunity for students to come into contact with the world of work, create connections, access professional opportunities and receive practical support in building their careers, in order to become the leaders of tomorrow.
