Paving the Path from College to Career

Your business school journey should be a time of discovery. Most students arrive at Leeds undecided about their specialization or major (here, we call it your area of emphasis). Many who do know change their minds along the way. Still others discover a passion for something niche, like cybersecurity or sports entrepreneurship.

Whatever your vision—and no matter how often it changes—the Career Development Office at Leeds will be your partner in understanding how a calling becomes a career. Our career advisors are connected to professionals in every industry you can imagine, and provide personalized support and connections to help you find the right path for you. 

We’re proud of our track record—six months after graduation, about 90 percent of our students have secured jobs or admission to graduate programs. But the goal at Leeds isn’t just to help every student find a job—it’s to help every student find the right job that sets them up for long-term professional fulfillment and satisfaction. That means leveraging our vast network of top employers—not only for recruiting events and career fairs, but in class discussions, case competitions, club meetings and more.

Leeds’ career services include:

  • Dedicated career coaching and professional skills development, enriching in-class experiences.
  • Connections to more than 46,000 Leeds alumni working in countless industries. 
  • Treks to businesses in finance, marketing, media, technology and more, in cities from Denver to Dubai.
