Bayt.com, the Middle East’s number one job site, will be hosting a Bayt.com Virtual MBA Fair from October 27th to 30th. Professionals interested in seeking an MBA degree are invited to sign up for free online at vmba.bayt.com. The online education fair -- which sees Manchester Business School as Platinum Sponsor and Audencia Nantes School of Management as Silver Sponsor -- provides a convenient platform from which potential students and institutions can interact directly without the need for a physical venue.
The Bayt.com Virtual MBA Fair allows students to discover and interact with leading business schools from around the world, empowering them to make informed decisions when choosing the right program to take their career to the next level. Top participants include Robert Gordon University Aberdeen, Middlesex University Dubai, University of Wollongong Dubai, University of Northampton, University of Leicester, and the International Institute for Management Development. The fair is beyond simply convenient, as it makes it possible for students, parents and academic counselors to explore different options from the comfort of their homes, without the need to travel or commute.
According to the Bayt.com "MENA Professionals’ New Year Resolutions" poll, December 2012, going for a higher education was among the top three career-related resolutions of professionals in the Middle East and North Africa for 2013, along ‘getting a better job’, and ‘getting a better salary’. Meanwhile, the Bayt.com "Online Education and the Job Market in the Middle East" poll, 2012, also revealed that online education -- specifically -- is viewed in a more positive light today than it was five years prior to the poll (69.9%), while 85.2% of professionals in the Middle East are ‘for’ online education. Another 66.7% believe that a mix of both online and classroom education would be the best type of education.
“At Bayt.com, we are committed to assisting all professionals who are interested in bettering their careers, whether it is by helping them find jobs or further their education opportunities,” said Suhail Masri, VP Sales, Bayt.com. “The Bayt.com Virtual MBA Fair is part of our mission to empower people with the tools and knowledge to build their lifestyles of choice, which can start from the comfort of their own homes.”
The Bayt.com Virtual MBA Fair is a unique concept, allowing academic institutions and potential students the opportunity to interact though the flexible medium of an online platform, designed to mimic a real-life fair experience. Visitors will be given access to traditional fair facilities that enable them to chat with the institutions, download their brochures, and exchange information, but with the added convenience of being able to attend from anywhere in the world. On average, Bayt.com Virtual Education and MBA Fairs are attended by over 10,000 prospective students from over 30 countries, generating more than 30,000 visits.
Educational institutions can reserve their booth today to be part of the upcoming Bayt.com Virtual MBA Fair, while students wishing to participate can register for free immediately at vmba.bayt.com.
