Any suggestions on how she can make accomplish this? Her expertise is in program management and a little bit of product launch and ops.
Q1 - Is mba the only route to get to such programs?
Q2 - skills and experiences such programs look for?
Thanks!

MBA is not the only route from my experience, it depends on the program. I got an offer from Lockheed Martin out of undergrad for their rotational leadership development program.

MBA is not the only route. You can do industry programs with business experience or Masters/PhD degrees. I did an MBA after 4 years work experience because I had an engineering background, had little business acumen outside of designing vehicles and no business network outside engineering. It opened more doors for me. If I had done a Commerce/Finance/Business undergrad and had that work experience, I would have skipped the MBA and gone straight into relevant internships that I qualified for. Depends on the end goal for sure and whether MBA helps or stalls that

Hi all! I am former federal government. I resigned due to lack of opportunities and growth. I am interested in a couple of Apple service roles within Pay, Care and SDS. Also, Amazon PM roles under Music, Live Sports and Brand Protection. However, with to the current economic conditions is it smarter to focus on fed roles versus Tech. I’ve never had a Tech role. I have a BS Mechanical Engineering and MBA. Any advice would be appreciated.
