1. Descrizione delle motivazioni
Diplomata alla SDA, MBA2008, avendo un’esperienza familiare e lavorativa internazionale, ho una
profonda conoscenza delle sfide che hanno gli studenti internazionali alla ricerca di un lavoro. La mia
carriera nei gruppi bancari e società di consulenza multinazionali mi ha insegnato l’importanza delle
relazioni interpersonali nello sviluppo di una carriera. E’ necessario riunire insieme gli alumni in nuovi
modi per migliorare la percezione e il valore che l'Università Bocconi ha presso le aziende. Come
Consigliere dedicato alle attività di International Employability, sento l’obbligo e ho la motivazione
necessaria per sviluppare maggiormente la relazione con le aziende per creare nuove opportunità per gli
studenti alla ricerca di una carriera globale. L'Università Bocconi ha avuto un ruolo fondamentale nel
costruire la persona che sono diventata oggi, e consapevole di questo, vorrei oggi contribuire io stessa
all'indirizzamento dell'Università verso un cammino internazionale.
2. Descrizione degli obiettivi e delle attività
L'obiettivo strategico del progetto International Employability consiste nell'aumento quantitativo e
qualitativo delle opportunità di carriera internazionali (internships e full-time jobs) offerte agli studenti
Bocconi, con particolare attenzione ai programmi chiave. A tal fine risulta fondamentale rafforzare il ruolo
di target hire school che l'Università assume nei confronti delle multinazionali italiane e straniere. Questi
obiettivi possono essere raggiunti coltivando, espandendo e monitorando le recruiting partnership, in
particolare, sviluppando i rapporti con gli alumni. Per massimizzare le offerte agli studenti, il progetto
dovrebbe focalizzarsi sulle multinazionali più attive nei mercati di maggiore interesse che possano offrire
opportunità di carriera in base a criteri come livello dei salari, la frequenza di assunzioni MBA o l'accesso
a leadership development programs. Si dovrebbe sviluppare una comunione d'intenti con executive e
senior manager di tali società attraverso incontri bilaterali per definire futuri metodi di collaborazione con
l'Università Bocconi riguardanti sponsorship, borse di studio e offerte di lavoro.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------1. Motivational letter
As a Bocconi MBA graduate (2008) with an international background, I have a deep understanding of the
challenges faced by the international students when it comes to job search. With a career that has been built
around multinational banking and consulting companies, my experience has taught me the importance of
building relationships and the immense value it may bring for career development. We must endeavor to
bring together alumni resources in new ways that will have an enduring impact on how Bocconi University
is perceived and valued by employers.
As a BAA Councillor dedicated to International Employability, I would like to help further develop
relationships with companies that will open new doors for students seeking to embark on international
career paths. Bocconi played a pivotal role in establishing who I am, and I would like to use my skills and
knowledge to contribute to the University in a way that will strengthen its path towards
internationalization.
2. Description of objectives and activities
The key objective of International Employability project is to increase the number and quality of
international career opportunities (internships and jobs) for Bocconi University students. In addition, it is
important to strengthen Bocconi's position as a target hire school for top multinational Italian and
international companies. The above goals can be achieved by cultivating, expanding and monitoring
recruiting partnerships and by particularly fostering relationships with alumni. To maximize value for the
students, the project should focus on dynamic multinational firms with growing presence in relevant
markets that offer quality career opportunities, as determined, for example, by salary levels, number of
MBA hires, leadership development programs. Individual discussions should be developed with executive
and senior managers at each company to define target collaboration mode with Bocconi University in
regards to sponsorships, scholarships, internships and full-time jobs.
