34 per cent said that their foray into the lifelong learning market revolved around meeting the demands of a particular job or industry. ALL FORMATS WELCOMED Another revealing finding is that graduates welcome all formats of continued learning, suggesting that business schools may be best served by offering a mixed portfolio of programmes and activities. When asked which formats of lifelong learning they prefer, 64 per cent listed self-paced, online learning, only marginally more than those who opted for a hybrid format (62 per cent) and in-person workshops or classes (59 per cent). Less popular are synchronous virtual sessions, cited by 38 per cent. Schools that are considering widening their portfolios and activities around lifelong learning may also be interested to learn that graduates are generally happy with the type of offerings currently available in the market. Among those who had accessed lifelong learning opportunities through their business school, 86 per cent said they were either “very satisfied” (45 per cent) or “fairly satisfied” (41 per cent) with the programmes or modules they had completed. The upshot here is that business schools appear well-placed to grow their lifelong learning audiences, if they can increase the number of opportunities on offer and their ability to reach and engage their global alumni networks. • The full report is available to download from the research section of the AMBA & BGA website: www.amba-bga.com/insights
