Kenya is set to host its first-ever Access MBA event on August 26, 2021, marking a significant milestone in the country's business education landscape.
For 17 years, Access MBA has been connecting ambitious professionals with top-ranked and accredited business schools from around the world. This year, the event will be held in an interactive online format, allowing participants to connect with schools from the comfort of their own homes.
According to Mr. Christophe Coutat, Founder and CEO of Advent Group, the organiser of Access MBA events, "Despite the uncertainty, students around the globe do not put their education and development plans on hold." He added that those who attend the event leave with a clear vision for their career path and valuable information about different MBA programmes.
The event programme features practical test preparation workshops, lively discussions, and Q&A sessions, as well as personalized guidance from education experts. Each participant will be carefully pre-matched with business schools and universities that fit their background and preferences.
On top of the diverse programme and personalized interaction, event participants stand to win a prize. At the end of the Fall 2021 Tour, one ambitious professional will be awarded a scholarship worth US$1,000.
With hiring projections indicating a rebound from 2020, the MBA degree is becoming increasingly valuable in the business world. According to a GMAC 2021 Corporate Recruiters Survey, around 91% of recruiters plan to hire MBAs in 2021, returning to pre-pandemic levels.
