An MBA aspirant
needs to demonstrate to his company that it would be worth an
investment to pay for the business degree. The presentation should
convince the employer that getting the degree will strengthen the
aspirant’s understanding of the business environment and the company
will reap benefits in the long-run.
The employee
needs to have already showcased his potential in terms of delivering and
achieving targets. If the company is not convinced with the employee’s
performance, persuading them to sponsor the education becomes even more
difficult.
Consider the fact whether the company is financially able to fund this high-priced degree. Have they been
cutting expenses or experiencing growth recently? Have they sponsored
any of your colleague's education? If they have, ask your colleague to
advise you on what to expect.
It is very important to have a clear
understanding of the details about the fees. Are you going to get any
funding in the form of scholarships or any government assistance? The
particulars about the program, the duration (full-time or part-time) and
other things have to be remembered so that one’s approach to the
employer emanates confidence and determination.
If an employee is not onto sales,
then at times it could get a bit difficult to showcase the results. At
such times, an employee could focus on how he/she has managed to save
and cut down on the costs of the company. For example, if one has worked
on a project for months and is unsure about how it has affected the
company’s performance then one should try to figure out how exactly the
project has helped the company reduce cost.
If you were in charge of creating a
marketing campaign on Facebook, show that you were able to reach the
company's target market without having to spend the money that is
usually spent on advertising.
The bottom line is that you need to
be fully prepared and show your employer that an investment on your
education is also an investment in the company's long-term goals.
