For Employers
The MBA Fellows Program is designed with companies and employees like yours in mind. With minimal interruption to professional commitments, participants in the MBA Fellows program engage in an innovative learning model targeting practical outcomes with immediate benefits to them - and to you. All individual effort and collaborative work on projects and learning modules prepare the participants to be more productive and more fully engaged in the contemporary business environment.
The MBA Fellows program provides value to your company through:
- Project-based action learning that is relevant to where business is today - and where it's headed tomorrow.
- Brief, intensive residency programs that immerse participants in learning projects, without requiring extensive time away from work.
- Collaboration via an online learning community that allows participants to engage with other students and faculty wherever and whenever it's convenient - 24 hours a day, all over the world.
- Personal and professional learning goals set by each participant, including the organization's needs.
- A wealth of resources accessible to MBA Fellows, including leaders in business and industry as well as the expertise of the Johns Hopkins University faculty.
- Immediate benefits to your company as the participants take their program experiences and apply them to everyday situations in the workplace.
In addition to your sponsor letter, here's how you can help make your employee's experience as beneficial as possible:
- Work with your employee to find out what educational benefits your company offers and how you can provide the most financial support.
- Schedule project loads to allow your employee to focus on the program and attend the required residencies.
- Be flexible in allowing your employee to balance the demands of the MBA Fellows program, work, and family.
- Feel free to engage your employee in projects that allow them to put their new knowledge immediately into practice for your company.
- Assist the MBA Fellow in identifying company-specific issues that could be developed as context for individual learning projects.
