The network offers an ideal platform for exchange and effectively supports recent graduates in embarking on a successful professional career. Through personal contacts and recommendations, graduates quickly find access to potential employers and vice versa. <\/p>\n<hr>\n<h3>Advantages of the IKV alumni network<\/h3>\n<p>Both graduates and companies benefit from the alumni network. The close connection between former and current IKV employees makes it easier for companies to recruit new talent.
