Jeremy Curtin (ILF2022)

Institution: 
University of South Australia
Course: MBA

My journey with the Industry Leaders Fund began by working alongside ILF Alumni and witnessing the benefits of their further education through the fund as well as the extended network of professionals they had access to. These Alumni inspired me to apply for a grant to undertake studies that would allow me to enhance my skill set and perform better as a leader in Management.

I applied for an ILF grant in 2022 to study a Master of Business Administration with the University of South Australia and was fortunate to receive the grant to begin study in the 2023 academic year. 

The MBA program has allowed me to go deeper into business-specific topics I had previously studied in my Undergraduate Degree and enhanced my knowledge in these areas from a strategic perspective. It has challenged my current understanding to make better decisions for business strategy and continuity. I have found the MBA  to be truly immersive and questioned preexisting paradigms throughout the course.

Being part of the MBA school allows you to meet and collaborate with other professionals in business which enhances learning through others’ career experiences. The varying experiences and different perspectives create a rich learning environment. I am looking forward to undertaking the AICD Company Directors Course at the end of the program.

The ILF has given me a fantastic opportunity and I am proud to be a scholar of the 2022 class.
