AACSB International Accreditation as a Catalyst for Soft Skills in Business Schools
Batista, Mariane Pires; Romani-Dias, Marcello
Journal of Education for Business, v97 n4 p213-219 2022
In order to identify the main skills required by the labor market and to relate these skills to those developed by institutions accredited by AACSB, we conducted a qualitative study by triangulating information from the literature, World Economic Forum and interviews with accreditation experts, faculty, and students, to argue that accredited schools develop the necessary skills in students for their future. We identified four catalysts for skills: teaching criteria established in accreditations that require a guarantee of learning skills; learning in practice; encouraging international experience; partnerships with organizations that allow experience in the labor market.
