LEADERSHIP SKILLS

During the course, management students learn how to supervise large teams and create a dynamic work environment. To ensure Welingkarites make effective leaders, WeSchool has come up with a training module known as the “Global Citizen Leader” in association with the US-based Centre for Creative Leadership. The module provides students with crucial training in leadership skills pertaining to social engagement, communication, conflict resolution and innovation.

CREATIVITY AND CRITICAL THINKING

Management Education not only introduces its students to critical and innovative thinking, it also encourages them to imbibe it. It gives them access to a wide range of knowledge through its custom tailored and tech-savvy lesson plans, case studies and presentations. Such an education  endows students with skills and abilities which are vital for understanding and functioning in an increasingly complex world. “Our students are mentored by stalwarts from different walks of life for entrepreneurship and innovative thinking so that they develop into leaders with global mindsets,” says Prof. Uday Salunkhe.

MORE JOB OPPORTUNITIES

There is a high demand for management professionals in the job market today. Recruiters from top companies annually visit the Welingkar campus to hand-pick their managers.
