"Solvay Brussels School has been the step-up I needed in my career.
I acquired hard and soft skills with the help of the hands-on classes that we had, expanded my network and made friends for life.
Since the Academic Director of the Advanced Master I follow, Bruno Wattenbergh, works at Ernst & Young as the ambassador of innovation, I asked him if he could help me with an introduction. He was more than willing to do so. I successfully passed the recruitment process and I managed to get the job I wanted, even before graduating!"
"During the Consulting Week of Solvay Brussels School, I had the opportunity to meet people from PwC and I got an interesting presentation of the company's culture. Then, I immediately checked their website and applied for a management consulting position.
The coaching sessions that Solvay offers convinced me to have faith in myself and to enjoy the application process. […] I have learned to work and deliver results within groups of people with different academic backgrounds (psychologists, engineers, etc.) and different nationalities.
This is a valuable asset as I will be working in an international environment."
