All About School, Colleges and University

Gone are the days when joining a job meant bidding adieu to academics. With the advent of executive education individuals can enhance their professional skills while climbing up the corporate ladder. While executive education in the U.S is approximately a $800 million per year business, according to business week, in India too, the sector has been witnessing much action.

With India's economic growth creating a need for skilled human capital, leading business schools such as the Indian institute of management and the Indian school of business, Hyderabad are focusing on corporate education. Foreign institutions such as Harvard business school and Oxford University are also making a beeline for this market.

Traditionally, there are two kinds of executive education programs i.e
• Management Development programs (MDPs)
• Executive MBAs (EMBAs)

Management development programs are short term programs, lasting between a day and a fortnight. Management development programs can either be customized to suit an individual company's needs or open enrollment.
On the other hand, executive MBAs are of a longer duration ranging between six to 36 months.

Harvard business school recently completed a five day executive education program in Hyderabad. Program participants included senior executives and managers of growing Indian companies across sectors, as well as executives of foreign based firms and private investors with substantial current or contemplated exposure to India. Another executive level seminar on real estate has been planned for June this year.
