Description
INTRODUCTION The focus of this paper is to examine how MBA programs have prepared graduates for unexpected mid-career job loss. A review of the literature shows such job losses often have significant negative impact on physical and mental health. The literature suggests approaches to coping with job loss that improve individual outcomes. Despite the importance of career development and the need to instruct students on how to successfully manage career changes, it is unclear if such approaches as found in the literature are part of the management education of MBA students. In order to understand how MBA students are prepared for mid-career transitions, this study examines the career education within the top 30 MBA programs, as ranked by Business Week, and provides recommendations for curriculum change to better prepare graduates of such programs for mid-career transitions.
