During your MBA, you will connect and collaborate with other students from diverse professional backgrounds; people you might not have been involved with in other circumstances. This is certainly the case for AIB students, who interact with peers around the world through online student communities and AIB classroom forums. Some of them form friendships that last well beyond their studies, and many build their professional networks with the students and graduates they connect with along the way.
After the MBA, keep that relationship alive by nurturing the relationships you’ve made. Connect with your colleagues on LinkedIn, reach out to them when you need advice from someone with their experience, and share career opportunities you come across that are suitable for MBA graduates. These are just a few of the ways you can stay connected on a professional level.
