Skill Seminars
from CEMS STUDENT GUIDE 2021/22
by CEMS
Students must attend four Skill Seminar days in total (1 day = 8 hours = 0.5 ECTS).
Skill Seminars are training seminars in practical skills. They are essential to kickstarting an effective professional career and fundamental to adjusting easily to an international management environment. Topics may include:
Business communication
Strategy skills
Personal development
Consulting skills
Marketing tools
Group work abilities
Negotiation techniques
Career development
Presentation skills
Small groups ensure an interactive dimension. Skill Seminars are offered by the CEMS member schools, very often in close cooperation with companies.
Company training sessions or other practical external seminars can substitute CEMS Skill Seminars when validated by the home school Academic Director.
Skill Seminar offers can be found at the programme offer page of each school http://www.cems.org/am.
Please contact the CEMS MIM Programme Manager in charge for registration and possible financial contributions to Skill Seminars. SKILL SEMINAR ATTENDANCE AND SANCTIONS
Due to Corporate and Social Partner involvement and the degree of planning required to organise Skill Seminars, CEMS takes Skill Seminar attendance very seriously. All CEMS students are required to adhere to the following policy:
Students must provide an advance notice of 5 working days to deregister from a Skill Seminar without explanation (length of advance notice may differ in case of the CEMS Career Forum). Closer to the start date only serious personal reasons (proven by official document) will be considered in approving late deregistration without a sanction.
If none of the above applies and a student does NOT attend the seminar, the following sanctions apply:
1 seminar missed student is NOT allowed to register for Skill Seminars for the current and following term. In addition, s/he is put last place on the list of preference for Skill Seminars, Business Projects, and Block Seminars.
