MBA Career Coaching Program

We know that you are ambitious and want to use an MBA to step out of a technical role or progress to the next level. We help you with a post MBA career plan, resume and set of personal branding and networking strategies to achieve it. It has worked for our MBA clients at Melbourne Business School and it can work well for you too.

Post MBA Career Plan
The career plan maps out your career strategy step by step, including the following:
- Where you want your career to go in the next 5 – 10 years (and if/which MBA is right for you).
- Which careers, roles, industries and organisations are right for you and how to get into them.
- A networking plan, including identifying and approaching suitable mentors and sponsors.
- How you need to position yourself to achieve promotions and climb the ladder of your career.
MBA Personal Branding Strategy
