We've been supporting and working with business schools around the world for over 10 years and as a result we understand the challenges that students face when moving into private equity. That's why we created a special package with unique content and industry insight that can be specifically tailored to suit business schools and MBA programmes looking to help their students move into private equity and venture capital.

The package includes the following:

The workshop is presented by Gail McManus, head of Private Equity Recruitment and former private equity investor. Gail has an MBA from London Business School and has been involved in private equity for more than 20 years. She started her career with 3i in a regional office investing in some of the UK’s earliest management buy–outs. She later became 3i’s UK business development manager. Gail then moved into recruitment and started PER and has been recruiting for private equity funds for the past 15 years.

In the workshops Gail will cover:

• Top tips on how to illustrate these skills
