Carlos Díez

Director of Talent & Careers department

From the Talent & Careers department, we would like to reinforce the importance of the experience that students can gain while participating in the LABs provided by IE University. Early contact with the business world is highly valued by recruiters, and in many cases, Lab experience marks the difference in the selection processes of companies looking for interns during students’ senior academic years.

The Lab experience allows students to start structuring a professional career, giving them the opportunity to gain real experience in companies, which will be of great value in IEU students’ professional development.
