Any part time MBA-ers that did OCR landed an internship? How did you communicate that to your employers (quit, leave of absence - if legally plausible) and how did you ensure there was a consistent stream of income after the internship?
I realize many part timers are not transitioning their career, but would love to hear from someone who’s gone through this process whilst supporting a family.

Unless you are able to get a sabbatical or some kind of other long term leave your only option would be to do the first year of the MBA part time while at your current job. Do the internship and then spend the last year just doing the MBA or find some kind of short term job the last year. But in this environment you likely need to do the internship for a chance at a full time offer at some roles
