Most Masters in Management programs in European countries such as France and Switzerland have a long history of building internships into the MiM syllabus. At ESSEC Business School outside Paris, around 25 percent of MiM students are apprentices who work part-time while finishing the program, which is paid for by their employer.
Such programs are good routes into industries that prefer to test candidates before hiring them on a full-time basis. Investment banks and consulting firms are known to operate in this way. For students, internships are a way to judge a company’s culture before signing on the dotted line. They are ideal for career-switchers to get a feel for a new industry, function or geography.
