Manage Every Step of your Executive Career
As a Purdue EMBA Program student, you will benefit from career management support both while you are in the program and after graduation.
Our support encompasses three parts: Career Assessment; Self-Discovery and Career Development Planning; and Career Skill Building. A Career Management Consultant will guide you through these steps and help you leverage your work experience and Purdue EMBA for the next stages of your career.
Our goals:
- Provide skills to maximize Executive MBA ROI
- Provide resources for career enhancement
- Provide guidance for future career progression and management
We present a four-part approach to career management:
- Executive coaching
- Coursework
- In-residence events
- Online resources
Executive Coaching
From the start of the program through six months after graduation, you will work with a Career Management consultant. This person will explore the Birkman assessment, strength analysis, creating a development plan, and defining and improving your personal brand, and will provide general advice and counsel. Having an external, objective resource will encourage you to ask the right questions and get you to the new opportunities you seek.
Coursework
Core and functional courses offered include Managing Behavior in Organizations, Leadership, Negotiations, Business Law & Ethics, Change Management, and Active Learning Projects.
The Purdue EMBA program offers a wide variety of immersion, or workshop-style, electives, including Coaching and Mentoring and Improving Team Performance.

Company visits, guest speakers, networking events, business etiquette dinners, topical presentations, workshops and more are built into our residencies.
