112 Asking your company to help fund your EMBA Your Metropolitan Executive MBA also brings huge benefits for your organization. Having your employer invest in your business education is a mutually beneficial way to fund your program. Why should my employer support me? Your employer’s investment in you is an investment in the organization. You will be gaining the latest global business knowledge and tools, leadership skills, and a global network of contacts. And many EMBA students choose to focus on their employing company for their class assignments. All of this can be immediately applied in the workplace as well as to your own professional growth. When should I ask for support? It’s best to approach your employer early in the application process to discuss options for company support for your EMBA. This can include financial support for fees, but many organizations also consider other ways to support their executives such as covering travel and course materials or giving time off for study days. Benefits to your employer To ensure you have the most constructive conversation with your employer, it’s important to be prepared to share how the program can not only help you achieve your personal development objectives but also help the business achieve its goals.
