ISB YLP: step on the accelerator to the corporate world.
The first batch of ISB YLP is ready to get
into the prestigious 1 yr MBA at ISB( Hyderabad and Mohali) in April ’14. The young leader’ s program is a unique
package in that ISB handholds you by guiding you while you are still in
college. You are initiated into leadership even before you do MBA. The YLP is the foundation for the PGP, a
foundation that gives you the much needed assurance and guaranteed career in
business.
What it takes?
ISB looks out for early signs of
leadership. Of course,
consistent, excellent academics and
non-academics are mandatory.
What happens at the mentoring stage?
In a nut shell it readies you for the 1 yr
MBA program in a structured manner; the 21 month work experience and
simultaneous mentoring by ISB, nearly substitute the experience you gain in
four to five years in the industry. Once the screening ( included in this story
itself) is completed and you’re admitted, you attend weekend contact programs
on campus, every six months. The contact sessions centres around career
planning, communication, profiling, readiness for the rigors of the 1 yr MBA. Interactive sessions, assignments are part
of the contact programs.
