What is Corporate Partnership?
Becoming a Partner
Job Market
 

There are a number of criteria that need to be met by companies wishing to become CEMS Corporate Partners.


Partnership criteria... the company should:
be attracted to the overall philosophy of CEMS
be strongly committed to the ongoing development of CEMS as a strategic alliance of universities and Corporate Partners
be willing and able to contribute to CEMS on various levels, both geographical and hierarchical
be ready to take an active part in shaping the CEMS programme
have the intention and possibility of offering challenging international careers for CEMS graduates
be a certain size
have international scope
be recognised as leader in its field
CEMS will, on its side, strive for a geographical balance of Corporate Partners across Europe as well as a broad variety of business sectors among Corporate Partners.
Admission procedure
The admission procedure is designed to ensure that the company will get to know CEMS and its philosophy well before applying to become a member. It also enables CEMS to get to know the company and its intentions better. In this way the company can see if the partnership will meet its expectations, and both parties can see whether they share a common view on the purpose of the partnership and on future co-operation.

Companies who have been contacted by CEMS or who have approached CEMS for membership will be invited to a central meeting with CEMS representatives. Held about once a year (in September/October), this brings together a group of companies for an information session about CEMS, as well as a more hands-on working session around CEMS functioning, opportunities and examples of co-operation.

After the meeting, the company can take the decision of applying for CEMS membership on the basis of a thorough knowledge of what the partnership entails. The application will be ratified by all CEMS voting members by email or hands-on vote.
