MBA Career Opportunities in Sustainable Global Enterprise
Working in coordination with the Johnson Career Management Center, the Center is a resource for students seeking careers pertaining to sustainability. There is no single path to finding sustainability-related jobs as career aspirations differ greatly from student to student. While at Johnson students are encouraged to identify a functional area and/or industry that they are most passionate about to facilitate their job search whether it be through an independent job search or the traditional MBA recruiting process.
Johnson SGE students pursue diverse career interests; some immediately seek careers related to sustainability while others pursue traditional MBA careers with the understanding that sustainability frameworks and knowledge will be called upon sometime throughout their career.
To get an overview of the career path progression for students taking Sustainable Global Enterprise view our career-focused webinar.
