The Digital MBA and How It’s Helping Millennials Break into Business

Sponsored by ISDI

If you were born between 1981 and 1996, then congratulations – you’re a millennial and part of a generation of self-proclaimed passionate, driven, curious, open-minded individuals.

But what has this got to do with breaking into the business sector? Well, it’s millennials who are set to dominate the modern business workplace as digital innovations also take over the way we do business and influence the way business works.

And although millennials have the necessary traits to work and lead in business – they still lack the technical understanding and soft skills needed to work in a digital business environment – which isn’t easy to come by as opportunities to get experience are marred by the typical catch-22 of needing experience to get experience.

The Digital MBA is an alternative and equally great gateway for breaking into business. At ISDI, the first digital business school in the world, their Digital MBA doesn’t ask for any prior work experience from prospective candidates either – allowing aspiring business professionals the opportunity to get ahead without having to worry about getting work experience first. 

We spoke with ISDI to find out more.

The job market is as competitive as it has ever been – and so the need to stand out from the crowd has never been more important if you want to land the job of your dreams.

While the MBA is still the most sought-after postgraduate business degree program, according to the General Management Admission Council (GMAC), there has been a definitive rise in the number of alternative specialized business postgraduate programs available, reflecting the diverse job roles that encompass today’s modern business landscape.

The Digital MBA goes the extra mile and considers the implementation of digital innovations and the revolutionary impact technology has on business - something which the MBA in its traditional form doesn’t necessarily touch upon.

It adds the classic skills traditionally provided by the MBA and also trains you in the soft and hard skills which have become essential in today's changing world. What’s more, the Digital MBA professors are also industry professionals who work at tech giants such as Google and Amazon, and offer insightful views and experiences of the industry to students.
