What Career Management Center - Coller School Of Management - Tel Aviv University does

The Career Management Center (CMC) is the dedicated career-services and employer-engagement unit within the Coller School of Management at Tel Aviv University, serving undergraduate, graduate, MBA, MSc, PhD, Executive MBA, Sofaer Global MBA, and Coller Deep-Tech MBA students as well as alumni. The center's core function is to bridge students into employment outcomes by coordinating recruiting events, employer introductions, and career counseling, while the broader Coller School operates degree programs and the long-running Graduate Consulting (GBS) program that places student teams into multi-month consulting engagements of 1,500–2,500 hours for Israeli and multinational enterprises. The Coller School is AACSB-accredited and sits inside Tel Aviv University, a public research university in Israel. Named corporate partners and clients of the GBS consulting program span defense (IAI), consumer goods (Strauss Group), financial services (NICE, Mizrahi Tefahot, 888 Holdings, Meitav), telecoms (AudioCodes), agritech (Netafim), medical devices (B-cure Laser), and global technology (HP, McKesson, DBmotion, Zap), among others, indicating a project-based revenue stream on the consulting side and tuition-based revenue on the degree side. Recent strategic emphasis has shifted toward deep-tech education and executive development, exemplified by the January 2026 launch of the Coller Deep-Tech MBA and partnerships with MIT (MSMS dual-degree), Coursera (online distribution), and the Lahav Executive Education consortium. Leadership is anchored by Dean Prof. Yael Steinhardt, GBS Head Prof. Gadi Ariav, and GBS Program Manager Jackie Goren. Headcount for the CMC unit itself is reported at 1–10 employees, with the broader school scaling around degree-program faculty and operations.
