As a response to a world that is undergoing constant changes, in which leaders require upskilling or reskilling tools that fit their environment and meet their short-term goals, EGADE Business School at Tecnológico de Monterrey has launched a new platform called Alternative Learning.

This innovative initiative offers exceptional learning experiences adapted to the 21st-century digital environment through a portfolio of dynamic, flexible, and agile programs aimed at life-long professional development:

• EGADE Capsules are videos, presented by the EGADE Business School faculty, that provide users with the opportunity to solve their doubts and questions about the business world through concise and open-access content on subjects such as business management, entrepreneurship, finance, and marketing.
   
• MicroMasters are massive online programs, delivered in collaboration with edX and open to the public. Each MicroMaster consists of six MOOCs, through which participants accelerate their professional growth by gaining access to exclusive content. Later on, the MicroMasters certificate can be part of the participants' first steps towards earning a full master's degree. Currently, there are two available courses in this category, both offered in Spanish:
  • Habilidades profesionales: negociación y liderazgo.
  • Emprendimiento e innovación.
     
• Live Online is a real-time digital learning platform, with specialized courses focused on strengthening skills within contemporary business topics such as service management, digital marketing, circular economy, data analysis, digital finance, and digital transformation.
   
• BootCamps are immersive, intensive, hands-on training programs that focus on exploring core innovation areas. These Bootcamps can be taken either in an onsite or a fully online format on innovative platforms.

Laura Zapata, an academic associate dean at EGADE Business School, noted that Alternative Learning helps business leaders, executives, professionals, and entrepreneurs take a proactive approach to their development and maintain a strategic advantage in the face of global trends.

“Through this platform, with accessible courses for everyone and at an affordable cost, participants will be able to learn using the cutting-edge techniques that distinguish EGADE Business School and to get in touch with our community of leaders,” added Julien Depauw, head of Educational Innovation at EGADE Business School.
