The alliance between Essendon and La Trobe will provide flexible business education for management professionals in business, government and sporting communities. The courses which La Trobe is providing under the alliance will offer flexibility in assessment timetables, exam timetables, and attendance at tutorials/lectures, as well as on-line curriculum materials, counselling and advice. The alliance will also facilitate research into areas of relevance to members of the club, its staff, sponsors and the broader community.
The alliance was “kicked-off” with a launch this morning at the Lumina Room, Grand Hyatt. James Hird was the keynote speaker at the launch and shared his experiences and reflections on leadership.
