A CADEMY
MCC’s Leadership Academy was created to help students
get a successful start in their careers and ensuring
that Hungary has a continual supply of qualified
leaders. Early career professionals usually do not have
extensive work experience and it is often difficult for
them to find their way around organizational management.
It takes times, good opportunities, and luck to
settle into a management role.
The Leadership Academy makes these elements available in a structured and exceptional manner within
the framework of a one-year “fast-track” program. Both the methodology and the content of this program
facilitate orientation and success in the participants’ professional lives. Primarily aimed at individuals who
wish to take another year of intensive learning and development before moving on to their career, the
program helps participants gain the knowledge and help they need to build on their successes that is unavailable
anywhere else.
The intensive training program of the Leadership Academy does not follow the logic of standard leadership
training programs. Its aim is to build knowledge and personality through a diversity of training
methodologies while focusing on practice and experiential learning. Professional courses, individual development,
training courses, exclusive closed-door discussions, company visits, organizational experiences,
project work, and field trips form the backbone of the program.
”MCC’s initiative to ‘produce’ leaders, to teach leaders how to lead, to motivate young people to become
leaders, I think, is a crucial task. It shows that Hungary is committed to educating good, effective, motivated,
and culturally responsive leaders.
Hungary has to decide what suits its cultural DNA and start building leaders who will move Hungary
in the right direction for the country. I think that’s what MCC is doing, and this is the right thing to do.”
