Employers seeking work-ready graduates A well-educated, skilled and curious workforce will ultimately drive the innovation and growth agenda that will meet Australia’s Innovation Nation 2030 goals. An increasing number of businesses indicate they’re interested in recruiting talent from broader backgrounds, especially science, technology, engineering, arts and maths (STEAM). However, many report STEAM students need fundamental business knowledge and workplace confidence to be successful in their organisations. AGSM designed a new post-graduate Master of Management (MMGT) course to bridge this gap, providing recent graduates the opportunity to complement their technical capabilities with business knowledge and strong interpersonal skills. Graduates of the AGSM Master of Management are prepared for business career paths. The graduates have shown through their course study and industry practice that they can communicate, work in teams, lead and manage people and resources, and are keen to tackle new ideas. A focus on harnessing ‘soft skills’ including analytical skills, problem solving, communication, and how to collaboratively work through a problem, rounds out their education and preparation, ensuring they are ‘business ready’ to start their professional careers.
