But we\u2019ve not yet homed on the support provided by our Senior Programmes Executive, Anita Kaur.<br \/><br \/>So, we thought we\u2019d ask Anita to talk about the support offered on the MSc, particularly in relation to mental health and positive relationships. Here\u2019s what she had to say\u2026<br \/><br \/><strong>In-person and virtual support<\/strong><strong><br \/><\/strong><br \/>Whilst the entire course administration is on my shoulders (enrolment, dealing with admissions etc.), one of the most important parts of my work has always been providing support to the learners.<br \/><br \/>Before COVID-19, I visited students in person. That\u2019s not been an option over the last 18 months, but support has proved to be even more important. Online learning meant students didn\u2019t get any face time. So, whenever a module is completed (usually every 3\u20134 months), we have a 1-2-1 discussion about how things are going. And if they need a catch up before then, they can message me on the virtual learning platform anytime.<br \/><br \/><strong>A focus on mental health<\/strong><strong><br \/><\/strong><br \/>Evidently, the pandemic has shifted my support to become more about people\u2019s mental health. When I first joined The Manufacturing Institute, I became a Mental Health First Aider to support the company\u2019s employees. Then I saw an opportunity to aid our delegate\u2019s wellbeing by using the skills I\u2019d acquired.<br \/><br \/>Usually, students are doing an MSc at the same time as a full-time job, and many have families and a personal life too. It\u2019s a lot to deal with. That\u2019s why I make the time and reach out to see if they need a hand.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Building relationships<br \/><\/strong><br \/>As a result of this support, we get to form positive long-term relationships. Students come back and tell me how happy they are with their achievements since the programme \u2013 whether it\u2019s promotions or how they\u2019ve managed to apply their MSc work into their leadership roles.<br \/><br \/>This support doesn\u2019t just come from me either. Delegates communicate to each other via their virtual learning environment or set up their own WhatsApp group. They can talk to each other about anything they\u2019re unsure of, and others will help and make suggestions. It\u2019s a true team effort.<br \/><br \/><strong>The MSc with The Manufacturing Institute<br \/><\/strong><br \/>Our MSc in Manufacturing Leadership returns in September 2022, when the next cohort starts. If you enrol, you\u2019ll receive support from Anita plus a number of other benefits, like learning from global experts who\u2019ve been there and done it.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><br \/>During the course, you\u2019ll adopt world-class manufacturing principles, and have the opportunity to execute seven in-house business improvement projects. Not only that, all of our modules are reviewed, so you know the course content is always relevant. In recent years, we\u2019ve emphasised Brexit and COVID-19, and we always try to bring real-life examples into the material.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Then there\u2019s the dissertation, which is based around a live project in the delegate\u2019s own organisation. We help them and make sure they\u2019re on the right path, then they can take their learnings back to the workplace.<br \/><br \/><strong>Apply for the MSc now<\/strong><strong><br \/><\/strong><br \/>The next cohort is due to start in January, which means you don\u2019t have long to secure your place. You can find out more about the MSc, what it teaches and the benefits <a href=\"https:\/\/manufacturinginstitute.co.uk\/public-courses\/msc-manufacturing-leadership\/\">here<\/a> \u2013 there\u2019s also the option to book a chat with Anita.<\/p>\r\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We\u2019ve previously spoken about our MSc in Manufacturing Leadership \u2013 from how it\u2019s accredited by Lancaster University, to the key details, to how it\u2019s benefitted delegates.
