MESSAGE TO THE STUDENTS

As you journey towards your graduate degree, we will be your partner in career development.

You may have various reasons for taking your Master’s degree here at AIM. It may be for continued learning, career growth (or maybe a higher salary), a desired shift in your career or to widen your current network. These would be achievable depending on what you do to reach these goals. Your stay here at AIM will be filled with frenzied activities that will challenge your intellect, patience, and stamina.

As you jump from one activity to the next, do not forget to plan your next steps after graduation. You have to make time to join CSO activities (career management and coaching sessions, company talks, networking events, among others) that may lead to better prospects. Your work experience can be enriched by adding internships to your already impressive resumé. When an opportunity opens to do a project or meet successful individuals, make sure to take advantage of this and continue learning. Do not put a limit on what you can do.

Success takes perseverance, and always remember to take the necessary steps to achieve your goals.

CSO looks forward to engaging with you.
