Employment

Just before graduation, CMC offers individual career counseling to our students about negotiating a job offer. They also receive useful tips about initial success at workplace. 

ADA’s affiliation with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs allows students to utilize and leverage relationships with Azerbaijan’s embassies abroad to secure exciting internships and jobs worldwide. Our Career Management Center also works with domestic and international corporations, non-governmental and international organizations and foreign embassies based in Baku to assist with internships and job opportunities in Azerbaijan.

Internship

We are committed to delivering the best possible career resources to help meet and exceed our students’ career goals and expectations. A meaningful and unique part of studying in ADA is our internship success rate. Between the first and second year of study, graduate students complete a 6-8-week internship in the kind of institution they hope to work for upon graduation. AFSP participants are placed at one of Azerbaijan’s embassies to gain the first-hand experience in foreign service.
