Is the Career Management Center (CMC) the reason for Stanford’s success?

The success of the Stanford Grad school can be attributed to the Career Management Center (CMC) at Stanford Works with students to identify career opportunities that are in line with their vision, values, strengths, and interests. 

The CMC approaches the job-search process by working with students to reflect on their strengths and interests; to develop a set of career hypotheses that they then test; to home in on target industries, roles, and companies they wish to pursue; to prepare for interviewing; to negotiate offers respectfully; and finally, to choose the opportunity that most aligns with their values and priorities.

CMC support includes one-on-one career advising; facilitated peer group conversations; interactive workshops; comprehensive resources covering industries, career specialties, market forecasts, and other job-related data; and access to Stanford GSB’s unparalleled alumni network. 

The CMC also works closely with employers as they develop recruiting strategies to identify students who will become principled leaders driving innovation and impact in their organizations.
