relations
group
(CRG)
introduction
The Corporate Relations Group is the heart of IBS's approach to building a career route for students studying
at IBS. It acts as a bridge from the academic to the working environment whereby students get exposure and
real work life experiences through internships, project works, surveys and /or case studies.
The Corporate Relations Group advises students on choosing the right career path, depending on their
capabilities, potential and interests. The CRG team builds strategic alliances with companies to facilitate the
immersion of students. Our partnerships include many of the most influential companies in the local economy
as well as globally recognized brands across a wide variety of industries. We look forward to building good
business relations with many other companies who will be participating in IBS Internship Fairs held throughout
the year.
internships
ISITECH Business School leverages the assistance of its network of partners from the private and public
sectors to place students studying full time in internship roles. The internships may vary in frequency and
duration but have to be in line with the designated field of study. The internships may be remunerated with a
stipend.
Through the Corporate Relations Group, IBS looks into the career path of a student. The internship programme
is designed to put students on a career route with a company so as to have some exposure in the working
environment, to build a career in the future and face global working challenges easily. We already have some
companies providing internship programmes to our students and we continue on building good business
relations with many other companies in Mauritius.
placements – part time to full time
An internship programme given to a student varies from 6 months to 1 year. This can be classified as a part
time placement for those with below 6 months internship period and for those having a more than 6 months
it is classified as a full time internship period. The ultimate aim of the internship programme is to provide each
IBS students with a full time placement in the long term.
part time work
In line with the Budget Speech 2011, the Government has provided for a new scheme whereby foreign students
will be allowed to work for up to 20 hours per week. IBS is very supportive of this policy and will certainly bring
its full contribution.

studies
IBS gives its students to work with well known companies on
surveys, project works or case studies which is part of the
academic programme and designed by Professors for students
to apply their academic knowledge to the real world.
liaison – CEO speaker series
IBS has integrated the CEO Speaker series in the academic
programme of students. This gives students the chance to hear

provides exposure to the work environment and both local &
international contexts.
international exposure
IBS has a pool of foreign students with diverse culture coming together

companies in the global market. Hence, when they come to Mauritius to
enhance their studies, they also bring in international exposure as an
