CEO’S COLUMN
Andrew Main Wilson celebrates the growth of AMBA’s international network of students and graduates, and extends the invitation to all accredited Schools to encourage their cohorts and alumni to join this dynamic group of change makers
s AMBA’s network of student and graduate members approaches 60,000 people in more than 150
to support you with this too. Free membership is available to all current students and graduates of AMBA-accredited programmes. And, by joining AMBA as individual members, your students and graduates will instantly be part of an international, professionally diverse network of almost 60,000. This buoyant network harnesses the expertise of the MBA community to share insights and thought leadership, create business networking opportunities, and amplify the collective voice of MBAs all around the world. From seminars and masterclasses to webinars and networking evenings, AMBA events take place around the world. Members can keep up to date with cutting-edge business books as well as reviews and opinion on must-read titles, through our Book Club. AMBA members can also enjoy up to 35% off best-selling management books from leading international publishers. Through our state-of-the-art Career Development Centre, members can also take advantage of a wealth of resources including CV,
cover letter and elevator pitch builders, as well as viewing hundreds of hand-picked MBA jobs, MBA employer viewpoints, career assessments, and bite-sized professional and self-employment skills courses. AMBA’s award-winning thought leadership hub is designed for AMBA members, Business School executives and prestigious MBA employers. AMBA members receive priority access to the website hub, bringing them ground-breaking ideas from world-class Schools and top business thinkers, practitioners and disruptors. I was also pleased to see that this year, in our AMBA & BGA Excellence Awards, among 175 entries in 11 categories, 92 of the entries were from Business Schools nominating their own students and graduates for accolades in the fields of academic achievement, entrepreneurship, and leadership. I look forward to sharing the shortlist of these remarkable finalists in next month’s edition of Ambition. Andrew Main Wilson, CEO, AMBA & BGA
countries, I was delighted to see that the appetite from your students
to be part of this important and vibrant network is still keen, and we were delighted to welcome almost 1,900 new members to our onboarding session in September. Our mission is to inspire the leading global management education network to shape business excellence. In addition to our accreditation offering, AMBA works to support Business Schools in raising awareness of their accreditations, their achievements, their research and their thought leadership across our international network and the press, as well as a producing raft of thought leadership initiatives – including Ambition . It will not be news to you that Business Schools play a vital role in preparing students for future employment, giving them the tools and skills to succeed in their professional lives. AMBA is here
