CEMS 20th Anniversary in Norway On September 29th Norwegian School of Economics (NHH) celebrated the CEMS 20th Anniversary at NHH. This event brought together current NHH CEMS students, alumni and CEMS corporate social partner UNICEF. During the “CEMS and Social Partners” Skill Seminar held during the first part of the event UNICEF delivered a presentation on its main working principles and the ways it collaborates with various businesses to help children worldwide. The participants learnt how UNICEF chooses its partners, assesses the compatibility between UNICEF and companies’ strategies and tries to create extra value through innovating together with its partners. Later on, the audience was engaged in group discussions on how a company can benefit from strategic partnership with a non-commercial organization, how the perceived fit and image transfer can be managed. Discovered insights were shared with the rest of the audience and UNICEF representatives during group presentations.
Within the “CEMS and Social Partners” Skill Seminar the students and alumni also had an opportunity to learn about job and internship opportunities at UNICEF. A current CEMS NHH student Lise Hafskjold who is doing her internship at UNICEF now shared her experience with the audience. After the workshop the guests had a chance to mingle and network with the UNICEF representatives in a less formal environment. All in all, “CEMS and Social Partners” Skill Seminar held within the frames of CEMS 20th Anniversary at NHH was a success And we would like to thank UNICEF for its great contribution to the event. If you have any questions about the event, do not hesitate to contact CEMS Club at NHH.
