You\u2019re not alone. Farid Bin Noordin, manager of strategic recruitment and enrolment for Athabasca University\u2019s business programs, says that he often sees working professionals take leadership courses or a Master of Business Education to help get \u201cunstuck\u201d from their careers.<\/p>\n<p>If these feelings resonate with you, here are many ways that a business education can help you progress further in your career. If you\u2019re looking to get promoted or gain a leadership position at your current company, Bin Noordin says that a business degree, like an MBA, can help you stand out among your peers. \u201cOnce you get an MBA and have those three letters behind your name, people higher up [in the company] will start to take notice,\u201d he says. Skills learned in a business education, such as critical thinking, leadership and communication, can be practised and implemented in your current role and workplace.<\/p>\n<p>Alternatively, if you\u2019re thinking of switching jobs to a new organization or pivoting to another industry entirely, taking a business course or degree opens you up to a network of working professionals\u2013from fellow students to course instructors and special guest lecturers. \u201cThe power of your network will help you pivot to a new industry or career more easily,\u201d explains Bin Noordin. With working professionals from many sectors of business, students gain insights into other industries and learn how different decisions are made between them.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re feeling lost and uncertain about what your next move might be, a business education could offer you exposure to discover a new line of work that really resonates with you. \u201cIn our program, we have students from many, many different industries, like not-for-profits, oil and gas, insurance, even the military,\u201d Bin Noordin explains. \u201cOur program puts everybody in a big pot. You learn from the same textbooks, but then <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>ly those theories to practical models. Everybody will bring in their own unique approaches.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Whether you\u2019re planning a vertical or horizontal career move, Bin Noordin says that a business education helps you \u201cland on your feet\u201d wherever you end up. \u201cEverywhere you go, you still have the same business issues and business functions, like marketing, leadership and project management,\u201d he says. \u201cEvery company has those pillars.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>With the pandemic changing the way we work, and challenges like inflation and a recession impacting our day-to-day work, getting a business education helps ensure your skills as a working professional stay relevant to current needs. \u201cYou will gain solid leadership skills and learn how to lead people, either remotely or in person,\u201d he says. \u201cNow that inflation rates are going high, and with the possibility of recession, how do you stay relevant and be resilient?\u201d asks Bin Noordin. \u201cHow do you maintain that flexibility when things are tough? An MBA can help you navigate those challenging times and also prepare you for the times ahead.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Whether you\u2019re looking to move ahead in your current place of employment, make a career change or discover a new path entirely, having a business education will help nudge you towards your next step. \u201cIt really gives you that boost of confidence and a sense of achievement,\u201d Bin Noordin says. \u201cYou\u2019re able to make better decisions based on data and develop your critical thinking skills. It makes you a more well-rounded person in the business world.\u201d<\/p><\/div>\n<p><script async defer crossorigin=\"anonymous\" src=\"https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/sdk.js\"><\/script><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
