Brazilian School prepares MBAs for the world market

Read in Portuguese


Brazil has been competing successfully for the world market executive training.

The International MBA FIA will celebrate on March 17th the graduation of its 1st class with students from nine different countries.

They are young executives who have invested time and money to get training in business administration in Brazil. They have quit their jobs in the U.S., Europe and Latin America and chose coming to Brazil to obtain an internationally recognized MBA. In FIA, they have attended for a one year MBA, the only English spoken "full-time" MBA in Brazil.

Studying with Brazilian colleagues, whose most carried out the "part-time" version of the course in 20 months, international students took classes with Brazilians, Europeans and Americans professors, and absorbed much of the Brazilian culture of doing business.

With only 30 days after completing the course, more than 70% of the group is already being used in Brazil and abroad, and entrepreneurs have created their own businesses, generating employment in Brazil!

According to Professor James Wright, Coordinator of the International MBA FIA, "this course is a talent hotbed for Brazilian companies looking to expand its global presence. With an average of 6 years of professional experience, sense of entrepreneurship and a strong multicultural living, these young people are human capital of a first level for any company in the world." The teacher says that multinational companies have been faster to recognize this potential and hire the graduates of the first class. Internationalized Brazilian companies, as AmBev, Embraer, Gerdau, Votorantim, Unibanco, Itau, Camargo Correa, Odebrecht, Natura and others need to aggregate to their staff young people carrying exactly this profile, says Wright.
