In a move to help Europe's firms through a shared spirit of openness and responsibility, three top business schools in France, Germany and Italy have formed the nucleus of a new business education network.
Audencia Nantes School of Management, HHL - Leipzig Graduate School of Management and MIP Politecnico di Milano will become the founding members of an initiative that pools talents and key resources to anticipate and address the new recruitment needs of business.
The partnership will unite recruitment, corporate relations and company placement efforts. The three schools will thus act as one on both pre-programme activities - the management of potential students - and post-programme elements - the supply of alumni to employers.
In this way, the new network of accredited business education providers will offer companies pan-European access to just the sort of future managers that match their specific requirements.
The three schools' career advice and company relations teams will work closely to answer the needs of each student and to share corporate contacts. Students will thus be able to enjoy joint placement activities by the business school partners.
Initial student recruitment will focus on the MBA market, with staff from Audencia, HHL and MIP being present at recruitment fairs and other international student events.
The agreement, signed in Paris, also states that the three schools will explore the possibility of joint executive education and in-company training in the future.
Audencia, established in 1900, is ranked at a global level by The Financial Times and The Economist. It holds the three major accreditations: AACSB, Association of MBAs and EQUIS.
Founded in 1898, HHL is the oldest business school in the German-speaking part of Europe. Accredited by AACSB, it is ranked one of the top German business schools.
MIP is part of Politecnico di Milano, one of Europe's most prominent technical universities since 1863. MIP is EQUIS accredited and is is ranked number one in Italy for quality of students.
