| STAYING CONNECTED |  |
Branches & Ambassadors – alumni branches operate in Adelaide, Brisbane, Canberra, Melbourne, Sydney, Perth, Hong Kong, Singapore, New Zealand (Auckland & Wellington) and London. Branches operate in areas of significant concentration of alumni, while Ambassadors for AGSM programs are volunteer alumni who act as a key contact for the Australian School of Business in the local market and organise periodic alumni gatherings. We are looking for volunteers worldwide to expand the Ambassadors network.
Alumni Online Directory – a password protected, invaluable networking tool with corporate and personal contact details for participating alumni. Alumni can search for other alumni by name, class, geographic region, company, industry and job function.
See Instructions on 'How to use the Alumni Online Directory'.

| PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT | |
Lifelong Learning – across the alumni network, in every city where there is an AGSM alumni branch, there is at least one event annually to promote lifelong learning and up to 10 are held in Sydney. By bringing both the best in research findings from the Australian School of Business, together with leading practitioners, there are many opportunities for alumni to continue to learn and build professional networks.
Executive & Corporate Development – Full and honorary AGSM alumni members can enrol in any standard Executive Program and receive a 10% discount.
| ACCESS TO TALENT | |
Management projects – Corporate clients and alumni are encouraged to identify projects for students to undertake in teams. These real-world problems help MBA students master the theory and the latest management techniques to deliver solutions to real business issues. The corporate client benefits from low-cost management consultancy and research, and the students benefit from the real-world experience these projects offer.
Recruitment - Our on-campus Career Services tem can help your company identify full-time and MBA (executive) talent to match your needs. There are opportunities for both full-time employment, as well as internships.
Connector – Connector is a student-led business plan competition accessible to students in any faculty or school of UNSW or University of Sydney. Great new business ideas vie for the financial prize. AGSM alumni entrepreneurs and venture capitalists are sought to provide advice to students, provide sponsorship, and judge the competition.
