In the past, it was challenging for women with the work gap to find employment after the gap. An MBA would have been a far-fetched thought for women with a work gap. However, companies are opening up their doors for women who have a gap in their employment. Business schools are also not far behind in creating provision for women with a work gap.
It is challenging for women with a work gap to resume their careers where they left them, let alone seeking career advancement. In this ever-developing competitive world, it is highly essential to keep yourself updated with the business trends and work on improving your skills.
Even more so, when you have a career gap. Education can be a great tool to catch-up with business trends and bridge the gap. An MBA can be a stepping stone to career advancement even after a career gap.
Indian business schools are lately catching up with this trend and providing opportunities for women with the work gap. There are a few business schools that offer MBA programs for women with a work gap. One such MBA program was introduced a few years ago in an Indian B-school, which caters specifically to women with a work gap.
Let us look at the complete detail of the program here:
- SP Jain Institute of Management and Research (SPJIMR) has launched the Post Graduate Management Programme for Women (PGMPW), which is a program designed specifically for women.
- This course consists of the following modules
- Pre-Course Foundation Module: This module is created to make the transition process seamless. It concentrates on basic courses in Economics, Accounting, and Statistics.
- Module 1: Module 1 encompasses courses on general management across all subjects.
- Module 2: Module 2 would entail courses that aim for specialization such as Marketing, Finance, Operations, Human resource management, and Supply Chain Management. It also includes corporate internships.
- Module 3: The emphasis of module 3 would be on integration courses. This module will focus on integrating various functional areas with general management courses. The students are encouraged to improve their leadership skills through many available avenues in the college, such as Leadership Lab, Personal Growth Lab, Individual coaching with ICF certified coaches, and science of spirituality.
The placements include some of the biggest corporate names in the country. This MBA program would be an excellent opportunity for women to kick start their careers after a work gap.
