Monash University's MBA has joined forces with Lee Hecht Harrison, one of the world's leading career management companies, to further enhance its top-ranking personal and professional development program.

Lee Hecht Harrison will provide a series of career workshops as an integral part of an extensive Career Management Program for Monash MBA students. These students will be provided with a suite of tools and techniques to help them assess, plan and manage their career paths.

"This is a most exciting innovation" said Associate Professor Peter Reed, Director of the Monash MBA program. "By joining forces with Lee Hecht Harrison our MBA students will have the opportunity of developing career management strategies with the help of experts from one of the world's leading career management organisations".

Lee Hecht Harrison is the flagship brand of Adecco Human Capital Solutions, the world leader in workforce solutions, with over 6,600 offices in over 70 countries and territories around the world. In 2007 Lee Hecht Harrison was ranked in the top 10 for leadership development programs in North America in Leadership Excellence Magazine.

In the same year the Monash MBA was placed second in the world in the category 'personal development and educational experience' in the Economist Intelligence Unit's 2007 world MBA rankings. Overall, the Monash MBA was ranked 43rd in the world, the highest ranked MBA in Australia.

"We are thrilled to have the opportunity of partnering Monash University's Graduate School of Business to provide a world class career management program for Monash MBA students" said Bruce Anderson, Managing Director of Lee Hecht Harrison Australia.

"Lee Hecht Harrison has a similar partnership arrangement in the USA with the Yale School of Management and Wharton to participate in their global leadership programs and we are most excited that Monash is about to become part of this elite group."
