Using an MBA to forge a seamless career transition

Whether you aspire to move from finance to marketing, engineering to entrepreneurship, or any other trajectory, an MBA can be the key to unlocking new horizons and capitalising on emerging opportunities. It is an advanced degree that equips individuals with the knowledge, skills, and network needed to navigate unfamiliar terrain.

In this FindMBA article, Alan Kwa, Career Advisor from BIZCareers, the Career Centre for NUS Business School, sheds light on how a clear goal and transition plan can help students “align their coursework, coursework, extracurricular activities, and networking efforts to support their career transition.”

He adds that NUS MBA students should seek guidance. “Engage actively with student clubs and take part in recruitment talks and networking events. Build meaningful connections with classmates, alumni, and industry professionals. Networking provides valuable insights, opportunities, and potential mentors who can guide you in your career transition.”
