The EFMD Career Services Conference focuses on the issues career services professionals face as they navigate the current realities of the work environment, specifically in areas such as employability, recruitment, job mobility, internationalisation, and trends in the labour market. At the same time, career professionals need to be aware and up to date with all the technological advancements that improve career services.
The conference welcomes professionals involved in their schools’ strategic decisions regarding career services and their teams.
Participants engage in discussions with a panel of recruiters, exchange with peers and share experiences that help them stay agile and relevant in an ever-changing context.

Career Professionals Development Institute - CPDI
The essential toolkit for Career professionals to stay on top of the latest trends
Career services significantly influence business schools’ competitive positioning and performance, and play a key role in shaping learners’ career paths.
The Career Professionals Development Institute (CPDI), offered in partnership with Highered, is a two-and-a-half-day training programme that defines the strategic role of career departments and sharpens services and skills needed to support schools' talent. The CPDI exposes career professionals to an intense learning experience and offers an in-depth understanding of the daily work of career professionals.
The training is best suited for Career & Talent professionals new to their roles, but the seasoned officers looking to refine their skills and learn what’s new in their field will also benefit from the training.
