In 2000, the number of ALBA Graduates that were readily absorbed by the job market, has reached an impressive 70% within the first two months after completion of studies, and a 98% within the first five months (upon Graduation). This constitutes another proof on the top quality of the ALBA MBA-Certificate Program, as well as the wide recognition of ALBA by the Greek market.
