CEIBS Executive Education is often the first point of contact between companies and the CEIBS community. Many organisations begin by sending senior managers to short programmes, either through open enrolment or company-specific training, before engaging more broadly with the school.

This creates a pathway into the wider CEIBS network. Executives who take part in these programmes become familiar with the school’s approach, its faculty, and the profile of its participants. Over time, this can lead to deeper engagement, including participation in degree programmes and ongoing involvement with the alumni community.

Companies also engage with CEIBS at multiple levels at the same time. It is common for organisations to combine executive education with longer programmes such as the Global EMBA. This builds institutional familiarity with CEIBS graduates and creates continuity between short-term training and long-term talent development.

As a result, relationships between companies and the school build over time. They support hiring, strengthen alumni connections, and keep companies connected to the CEIBS network as their needs change.
