Admissions Events

In 2016 the top three sectors of employment for IMBA graduates were financial services, industrial products/equipment, and it/networking/communications, which were 21%, 18% and 14% respectively. The ranking was just the same when compared with the industry ranking before the students entered Antai MBA. Other common career changes for graduates included moves to the education/training, and media/advertising/PR, and professional service (advisory/legal) and real estate/building/decoration design industries.

Compared with industries of employment before MBA study, financial services had the largest increase, while electronic/semiconductor, it/networking/communications, industrial products/equipment, had the largest decrease. This trend remains largely consistent with previous years, indicating after MBA study; graduates make career transitions into modern services industries such as financial services.

Looking to the position change, the position of Department Manager among graduates rose about 8% compared with pre-MBA positions, which means more MBA graduates started persuing their leadershop roles. Other types of employment, including self-employement ratios, did not change significantly after graduation. Even with the reduction in Professional positions after graduation, this position still attracted the highest proportion of graduates, which consistent with the finding that graduates turn to modern service-oriented industry development after MBA study.

Also notable is the fact that 40% of 2016 IMBA graduates choose jobs in state-owned enterprises, marking a rising trend toward SOEs. Foreign-funded enterprises, accounted for 28%, which was quite similar to previous years. NGO or private holding companies accounted for 9%.
