Getting an MBA or PGPM give you career options.
But as formal qualifications, they have two limitations:
- They don’t always teach skills that are in-line and up-to-date with industry trends and employer needs, since university curricula are typically very slow to change (I doubt you’ll see ‘how to use GPT-4 to maximise your productivity’ as a topic in many MBA courses any time soon!).
- They don’t show you what it’s actually like to work as a tech consultant/investment banker/product manager/whatever your dream job is. What do these roles look like minute-by-minute, at a granular level? Imagine if you could shadow a real professional? Imagine the skills you would learn - stuff that can’t be taught in a textbook or business school (as crucial as they are to your education!).
Forage (the company I work for) works with top companies (Tata, JP Morgan, KPMG, to name a few) to provide certificates and skills-based online education to students.
We’ve just launched the beta version of a new product designed specifically for Indian MBA/PGPM students. It’s called SkillSetu, and it solves the two problems (lack of skills and uncertainty about roles) mentioned above.
How? SkillSetu is a library of microcredentials. Every microcredential gets you:
- an industry-respected certificate;
- key, work-ready skills;
- hours of ‘Observational Learning’ videos, where you get to watch real professionals working through problems (as if you were shadowing them at work).
The content is all online and you can do it at your own pace!
Because we’ve only just launched, only our Investment Banking Microcredential is available.
We’re offering a special deal to Indian MBA/PGPM students who sign up by 11:59PM tonight (April 21), to thank them for being our first users.
