WeSchool visualized the need for Managers and Executives to upgrade their skills and competencies from time to time in their careers. With increasing liberalization and economic activity picking up, the corporate sector in India would need a strong and steady pipeline of Managers to draw from, to staff their expanding businesses. WeSchool has therefore attempted to base its offerings on ‘T’ shaped learning, where domain expertise has to be combined with an equally strong ability to understand and respond as a leader to the broader business issues. This type of learning helps a student master new skills, explore diverse perspectives, and develop a leadership style that helps him/her to transform their organizations and take them into higher orbits.
