Management Programmes For Experienced CandidatesThere was a time when the accepted norm was for individuals to complete their post-graduation right after their graduation and then start their career, going on till retirement. Life was compartmentalised and predictable. For a few years, there has been a growing trend of professionals seeking to go back to learning full-time after a few years of working, in contrast to completing all education at one go. This trend has been especially seen in business management wherein a technical undergraduate background is supplemented with work experience before venturing into studying management.This trend is only getting stronger in recent times for some good reasons:
The pace of change and volatility has increased. This requires professionals to retool periodically rather than lump all education into the start of their lives. New theories, case studies, and frameworks are needed for new problems.
Competition for jobs and promotions has increased. A short break to retool can mean a chance to get ahead through better credentials.
From the candidates’ perspective, there are several advantages to following this approach:
As stated, the break provides a retooling that can help career growth.
The work experience itself acts as an impetus for deeper classroom learning as concepts can be related to real-life more easily.
There are richer peer-to-peer learning opportunities as people from varied professional and undergraduate backgrounds learn and work together full time.
