Month by month, more great companies have learned about ISM, seen your value and chosen to work with Aalto ISM. Event by event, people on the same courses as you have turned from familiar faces to friends and colleagues.

All this wouldn’t be possible without the ISM community and the common goal of getting the most value out of your studies. Now it is your turn to be a driving force for that common goal and steer the ISM community forward.

We will share the case beforehand so that there is time to prepare for holding the interview. If you have more experience, you can choose the case where you act as an interviewer.
