Doostang, the leading online career advancement platform for elite professionals, today announced that it has been selected by INSEAD, The Business School for The World, to provide job and internship opportunities to its MBA and Executive MBA students.
“We are honoured that Sandra and her team have chosen to work with us in order to bring our career opportunities to their students,” said Mareza Larizadeh, Founder of Doostang. “We are also extremely excited at the initial results of our partnership with INSEAD.”
