What makes early‑career candidates stand out to employers today isn’t a specific undergraduate major, it is the ability to translate what they’ve already studied into job‑ready skills. In this session, we’ll share what employers consistently say is missing in new graduates and why business fluency, data, and people skills matter more than ever, especially as AI reshapes the workplace. Drawing on direct input from recruiters across industries, we’ll unpack the skills employers expect early‑career talent to bring on day one, and how students from any academic background can build them. You’ll also learn how Bentley’s Master's of Science in Management program was intentionally designed to close the gap between undergraduate education and workplace expectations. Built for recent graduates and early‑career professionals without a business background, the program develops the business vocabulary, management frameworks, and professional confidence that typically take years to learn on the job. If you’re asking how to turn your undergraduate experience into a compelling professional profile that employers recognize and trust, this session will connect the dots and show how the Master's in Management program accelerates career momentum from day one.

In less than a year, you’ll learn the language of business, gain high-stakes practical experience, and tap into a top-ranked career network, turning your undergraduate degree into a real professional advantage. We'll cover how the program is structured, how it differs from an MBA, and how students master business fundamentals and career development before specializing in either People Management or Managing with Data and Technology. The result: in 11 months, regardless of their undergraduate major, graduates enter career roles with the strategic thinking, business fluency, and management frameworks that most non-business majors spend years developing on the job.

Whatever future role you land in your career, data will be part of it. The real challenge is knowing how to use it. Professionals who can turn data into decisions are the ones who get noticed, trusted with bigger projects, and positioned to advance sooner. In this session, we’ll look at how data shows up in everyday business decisions and what early-career professionals are expected to do with it. Through practical examples from Bentley’s Master's of Science in Management program, you’ll see how data is used not just for analysis, but to guide conversations, align teams, and move work forward. Whether you're trying to find the career you want or get a step ahead in the one you've already started, this session will give you a clearer picture of what working with data looks like in today’s professional world and a head start on the business fluency that makes new hires valuable from day one.
