EDHEC is constantly offering its students a helping hand to kick start their professional career. Part of this effort is its participation in the creation of Carnet a career network linking 12 leading European business schools.

In a world that is becoming increasingly globalized, business schools have a real need to collaborate with international partners, not only on an education level (such as the Erasmus network) but also on the level of student career opportunities. This is the reason behind EDHEC's  decision to be a founding-member of the Carnet network, a joint project involving 12 leading business schools that has as its ambition to create partnerships between employers, students and business schools that will lead to job opportunities, events, consultancy projects and international cooperation.

The main tool of this partnership will be a web site with job adverts and where students will be able to build, edit and upload their own job profile, have access to information on events and exchange e-mails with other students in the Carnet group.

Simultaneously, employers will have access to the student database, be able to select CVs and contact students. They will also be able to post their job offers, discuss opportunities and recruitment issues with the schools' career professionals. Moreover employers will have the opportunity to promote their brand, participate in events and build relationships with the top business schools in Europe and their highly qualified students.

To be part of the Carnet network a business school must have the European Foundation for Management Development accreditation (Equis), the Association of MBAs (AMBA), or the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB). Most of the schools have at least two of these (EDHEC has all three) and are ranked in the top 100 global schools by the FT or the Economist.
