Career Services

Our mission is to empower students to develop professionally by providing them with comprehensive training sessions, individual counselling, networking and job opportunities to explore their career options.

The Institute's close proximity to 30 international organisations, 250 NGOs, 172 diplomatic missions and 931 multinational companies, means our students have greater access to careers in the international world.
