Introduction
In today’s hyper-competitive job market, an MBA degree no longer guarantees employment. As management training programmes surge globally, research shows only 10-20% of graduates possess employer-ready skills. At E-Global Skill Academy, we address this crisis through targeted professional development. Let’s explore solutions.
