SBE's Career Development Program

Contrary to popular opinion, most students entering business school do not have a specific and clearly defined career objective. That's OK! - you have chosen to broaden your horizons and explore possibilities. Your exploration will be more effective and focused, however, if you have taken the time for career self-assessment before you begin your business studies. No two students entering the School of Business and Economics are exactly alike and graduates from SBE have pursued a wide variety of business careers. The question is not what the best jobs are; but rather, what is the best business career for you!

About Careerleader:

To help you with this all-important first step of business career self-assessment, SBE has made available to you CareerLeader, the premier on-line business career self-assessment tool available. Developed after twelve years of research, CareerLeader is used by over 100 of the top Business schools in the United States and Europe.

CareerLeader will:

  • Provide you with expert assessments of your unique pattern of business relevant interests, values and abilities.


  • Provide a personalized report of your profile, recommending specific business career paths for you to investigate, and showing how well, and in what ways, you match up with that career.


  • Teach you how to integrate and use the information you've gathered about yourself.


  • Provide you with in-depth views into 27 business career paths, including information about the interests, rewards and abilities associated with each one.


  • Evaluate your entrepreneurial attributes.


  • Teach you how to analyze and understand key elements of corporate culture, how you will fit in with each and recommend which organizational cultures are likely to be best for you.


  • Give you insights into what are likely to be your career "Achilles' Heels"
