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.

Aim of the program

The aim of the program is to show students how the corporate world works and to give them basic knowledge on how to communicate and interact with high-level professionals, who may become their bosses, once they leave our university.

This program is an enhancement of the experiential learning, a hallmark of uniqueness for Franklin University Switzerland. The effects of these meetings will not be limited to one day, but they will continue with internship possibilities and, why not, with facilitation for job interviews. This program wants to wreck the wall separating traditional universities from the world of work so that students are better prepared for what comes next.
