Eight current and former deans, as well as government leaders, discussed whether business schools should prepare students for public and government careers in addition to private sector careers.

 

On Thursday, November 12, 2015, a prestigious panel of business school and government leaders converged on Quinlan to consider:

“Should business schools prepare students for public/government service careers in addition to private service careers?”

This is an important issue as employment in public/government entities at the federal, state, and local levels is growing faster than employment in private-sector entities. At the same time, widespread dissatisfaction has been expressed with the productivity of public-sector entities, due in part to the lack of appropriate training of both public-entity and private-sector managers.

This symposium explored whether business schools should provide additional public policy training, particularly for students pursuing careers in public management. The event was sponsored by Quinlan's Center for Financial and Policy Studies.
