I chose to study at SDA Bocconi specifically in order to get a different perspectives and widen my horizons as I born and raised in North Asia, living in South-East Asia and closely working in Central Asia. So true enough, it was one of my most amazing experiences I have had as I participated in classes from both academics and practitioners. Furthermore, we had an opportunity to visit international organizations, which gave me a great tool later to work as an intern at the International Training Center of International Labor Organization (ITCILO).

In my experience, SDA Bocconi was the best platform to develop and improve my skills, giving me the right exposure to accomplished and international profiles - referring not only to professors but also to my colleagues. It gave me the skill set necessary to succeed while working in international teams, and a strong network of contacts that I call on daily to help continue growing the company I started with one of my MPA colleagues."

This unique event is organized every year and allows participants to meet a selected group of professionals and learn more about placement opportunities, recruiting processes and organizational culture. These events are informal networking sessions that allow MPA students to present their CVs in person, get useful information how to prepare their applications and organize one-to-one meetings.
This event is followed by sessions organized by SDA Bocconi covering topics related to the most effective tools when looking for internship or employment positions as well as meetings with our Career Service to facilitate professionals in preparing an effective CV and motivation letter.
