Two new scholarships launched

TWO new scholarships have been launched by the Henley Business School.

Part of the University of Reading, the school is offering two executive MBA places aimed at equipping leaders to pioneer change.

The World of Work scheme will help people with managing teams through change –for example – in digital transformation, or into a new era of hybrid working. Alternatively, they could be championing an environmentally sustainable and ethical workplace.

School says that those with an enhanced leadership and management skills arsenal, and passionate about sustainability will be able to inspire their teams through transformational change for the good of the planet.

“With these scholarships, we hope to support those individuals braving change in their workplaces. Working sustainably, collaboratively and innovatively is foundational to a healthy and thriving world of work,” said Professor James Walker, director of Henley’s World of Work Institute.

The deadline for applications is Monday, June 19, and funding covers half the tuition fees.

To apply for the World of Work scholarship, candidates are required to write an 800word piece answering the question, “What can we expect from the future World of Work?”, while the Business, Ethics and Sustainability scholarship, sees applicants are asked to consider the question, “How can businesses ensure ethics and/or sustainability are more than just a ‘purpose’ on paper?” n For more details, log on to: www.henley.ac.uk
