SESSION OVERVIEW

Partners in Progress: The Shared Imperative for Business Schools and Employers to Support and Advance Women

The MBA has long been a conduit for professional growth; however, the career outcomes and trajectories of graduates reveal key inequities between women and men. In this session, we will explore findings from the latest Forté Foundation research on career satisfaction, leadership advancement, barriers to success, and compensation. QS's Business School Strategy Lead, Dr. Michelle Wieser and Forté CEO Elissa Sangster will join together with higher ed and corporate leaders to explore working together to close the gender gap and create more equitable outcomes for all.
