The Alba #Futureproof Careers Expo

This year, in true business unusual fashion, we held the Alba #Futureproof Careers Expo for the month of October where the business community met with Alba talent either live on campus or virtually, along with top talent from leading schools around the world!

More specifically, our #Futureproof Careers Expo happened in 3 stages.

1. GLOBAL OPPORTUNITIES: Alba students participated in the Global EFMD Highered Virtual Fair and had the chance to meet with international companies from all over the world. Meanwhile, we also invited our corporate partners to take part and meet not only with Alba talent but also students from other high-ranking Universities and Business Schools across the globe during the week of October 11-15.
2. STORYTELLERS’ PROJECT: 29 of our corporate partners met with Alba’s 2021 graduating class in a live setting on campus during which recruiters and students shared their stories with each other. The live fair, held on October 19-21, included initiatives such as the elevator pitch challenge and an executive masterclass in Narrative Intelligence powered by Alba Executive Development, designed exclusively for all participating recruiters. The winner of the pitch challenge was MBA student Marios Pavlakis.  
3. VIRTUAL SPACE, REAL TALENT: during which Alba students were interviewed in a virtual setting by 58 of our corporate partners through our Highered career platform on October 25.
