Pioneering Business Skills: MBA Insights from Alumni

As the business landscape undergoes drastic transformations, the demand for robust management capabilities and advanced business skills has surged. With the rise of technology, the need for effective collaboration and management skills has intensified, leading to an increased interest in obtaining an MBA. To address this growing demand, Human Academy, headquartered in Shinjuku, Tokyo, has initiated a series of monthly MBA orientation sessions featuring alumni from the University of Wales Trinity Saint David (UWTSD).

These events commenced in December 2023 and aim to provide valuable insights for professionals aspiring to elevate or shift their careers. The tenth event, scheduled for October 15, 2025, will spotlight an alumnus, Ms. Yoko Tsuda, an instructor at Teikyo University’s Graduate School of Public Health. She will share her journey of pursuing an MBA, lessons learned from her studies, and how these insights have shaped her career in the industrial health sector.

Importance of Management Skills in Today’s Business Environment

The shift toward a “multi-stage life” and the availability of diverse career choices have become prevalent, particularly in the context of the 100-year lifespan. As a result, the emphasis on professional advancement has grown. According to data published by the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology, approximately 2,500 individuals in Japan earn an MBA each year, reflecting the program's expanding appeal. This growing interest is indicative of the wider recognition of how specialized education can facilitate career progression and transformation.
