NGOs reaching out to Corporate Sector

From MBA TO NGO

If I ask you about What experience did you have before coming to business school, what would you really say?

Do you need a traditional MBA summer internship to gain credibility, experience a new working environment, and/or demonstrate and enhance your business skills and acumen? Or do you already have significant business experience?

• What are your career goals post-MBA? Are you fairly certain that you want to work in the social sector upon graduation? Are you looking to transition into another traditional business field, such as from investment banking to brand management, where it would be helpful to have some concrete summer experience in the field into which you want to transition? Or are you planning on going back to your previous employer or field and feel like you have some flexibility for the summer?

• What are your goals for the summer? Are there specific skills or expertise you want to gain over the summer? Are you looking to build your network in a particular field or location? Are you seeking a position that has a strong chance of leading to a full-time position or are you primarily seeking a new or different experience? Are you interested in a very structured program and environment, or are you comfortable with a more flexible position with more emphasis on hands-on experience than training and development and where you might be the only MBA intern? Are there social sector internships that might offer the right types of opportunities to meet your specific goals?
