Intro

Meet the Manager is organized by the Division of Business and Economics together with the Office of Marketing and will bring CEOs and top managers from international corporations in direct contact with the students. This will enable unprecedented interactions and network building for students and allow experienced managers to taste the mental freshness of Franklin’s young women and men population.

The program

Objective

Our program is designed to provide students with insights into the operations of the corporate world, and to equip them with essential communication and interaction skills, essential for engaging with high-level professionals. It’s not just about learning; it’s about preparing our students to adapt, thrive, and lead in their future professional environments, ensuring they make a seamless transition from academia to the workplace.

Unique Learning Experience

This initiative amplifies the experiential learning that is a distinctive feature of Franklin University Switzerland, allowing students to garner knowledge that extends beyond textbooks and classrooms. The implications of these interactions are profound, extending beyond single-day events and potentially leading to internship opportunities and job interviews, thereby bridging the gap between conventional academic learning and professional practicality.

Long-lasting Impact

Meet the Manager is not a one-off experience; it’s a gateway to enduring relationships and continuous learning. It cultivates an environment where the exchange of ideas, perspectives, and experiences are encouraged, allowing students to gain valuable insights and understandings, which will facilitate their overall development and career progression.
