HEC Paris in Qatar to host 'Maximize the ROI on your Executive Masters' Workshop

Doha: HEC Paris, one of the world’s leading providers of Executive Education, is hosting a workshop on ‘Maximize the ROI on your Executive Masters’. The session will be held on April 10 at HEC Paris in Qatar and will be led by HEC Paris Affiliate Professor Philippe Gaud.

Through this workshop, Professor Gaud will share experiences and offer guidelines for professionals so that they can embrace this learning journey and convince the market that they are ready for that next level up. Participants will walk away with guiding principles and concrete actions aimed at offering them a competitive advantage in taking their career forward.

Talking about the session, Professor Gaud highlighted: “You are engaging in the Specialized Master’s Degree. This is an important decision and as you begin to embrace the investment you are making in yourself, questions undoubtedly arise.  How am I going to benefit from this learning experience, how is it going to transform me and transform my career?”

“The Specialized Master is designed to prepare professionals to face new challenges, but they will still have to work to identify how to maximize the value and turn them into their dream job after the program. The workshop will also provide participants with some hints on how to sell their Specialized Master to a new employer. I am sure participants will be able to gain immensely by taking up this workshop and to apply the learnings in their professional endeavors”, he added.

The HEC Paris in Qatar Specialized Master consists of a core curriculum designed as a practical foundation for professionals and entrepreneurs looking to manage their own business unit or company in the future. Participants can choose to follow one of three tracks: General Management, Marketing & Sales, or Entrepreneurship & Business Development to develop their leadership skills and meet their career needs. Furthermore, the professional thesis enables participants to focus on a specific challenge related to their industry and provide detailed solutions.

This program is led by world-class faculty in a part-time format to fit in the professionals’ busy schedule. The program reflects HEC Paris’ commitment to contribute to the development of a knowledge-based economy in Qatar and to strengthen corporate competitiveness in the region.
