Business Mentors
Many of the skills needed to excel in business are not easily taught. These include skills such as interpersonal skills, teamwork, cultural aptitude and leadership.
Your Mentor
To help student's develop aspects of themselves that it is not possible to teach in a lecture theatre, Otago MBA engages Dunedin based executives and managers as mentors. Early in the year, each full-time Otago MBA student is matched with a mentor in what will be a year-long partnership.
Your mentor will help provide a New Zealand experience for international students but most importantly your mentor can enhance your learning and development while undertaking the Otago MBA.
