Essay for the University of Newcastle Scholarship (future of work scholarship)

We’re looking to recruit the next generation of leaders. The changing world of work is hugely influencing today’s labour force conversations. In a business environment where skills, jobs and wages will feel the impact of automation and artificial intelligence, business leaders need to adapt if they want to remain competitive in the market and demonstrate resilience to respond to change. Successful MBA candidates will demonstrate their understanding of the Future of Work and their approach to shaping a responsible future for business and society.

The leaders are playing a crucial role in providing directions, setting vision and mission of the company, and motivating the people to work with full potential and utilising the organisational resources successfully. Hereby, the leadership style is important in the organisations to develop effective strategic planning to run the operational activities of the firms.

In this era of digitalisation, the leaders of the companies need to be more open innovative minded for enhancing the chance of utilising the artificial intelligence of the workforce so that it is easy to enhance creativity and innovation at the workplace which in turn helps to conduct the operational activities of the organisation more easily and within effective time as artificial intelligence provides a scope to reduce time and cost and improve productivity of the firms. Through artificial intelligence, the leaders can enhance the overall performnace of the firms and in this context, the leaders in the recent years encourage the artificial intelligence to get the organisational job done by the workflows efficiently and within effective time. The leaders are also able to reduce cost of the operational activities of the firms through utilising artificial intelligence of the human beings where the leaders now a days prefer skilled workforce rather than labourers in the company. Working through computerised system is beneficial for the companies in the recent era of digitalisation which increases the speed of the performnace and enhances the overall performnace of the firms for which the leaders in all the conglomerates prefer to recruit the skilled workforce who can handle the computerised system and develop computer science technology for performing the organisational operational activities more efficiently by ensuring creativity, innovation and technological advancement.

I am writing this letter to apply for a position and scholarship for the Master of Business Administration programme at the University of San Diego starting autumn 2019.

I come from a Nigerian born family with 4 siblings located around the globe. My father is a retired civil engineer, who has 35 years of working experience and my mother is a retired chemistry teacher with over 30 years of experience. It was natural that, I have found interest in science and technology at a young age and have decided to carve out a career path in the area of mechanical engineering. I have a passion for clean energy i.e. renewables energy because I want to make my personal contribution to curb a potential crisis where energy resources deplete significantly that it becomes unavailable. I am keen to develop my skills to become a global leader in this energy sector especially as entrepreneur and engineering leader and an MBA at your institution as it will help me to achieve my aim. I am requesting you to find details of my educational background and work experience with details of the companies where I have worked for:

I have studied mechanical engineering at a Master level at the University of Sheffield, UK. My work experience exceeds over 6 years, working as an intern with Scottish and Southern Energy at Ferry Bridge, West Yorkshire, working as a Mechanical Engineer as Cummins Power Generation and Siemens Wind Power at Stamford Lincolnshire and Newcastle-Upon-Tyne respectively in the UK,

I was involved in a 2 years graduate programme that consolidated my experience in the area of vibration and condition monitoring of rotating equipment which was my area of specialism at the University. My responsibilities with Cummins Power Generation was mainly focused on servicing various kva alternators including fault finding, and testing of defected components around the globe. This experience has equipped me with cross cultural exposure where I worked in various countries including Germany, Romania, Spain, Bangladesh, China and Mexico. The graduate development scheme was beneficial due to various training programmes which have helped me to boost my soft skills and interactive skill with customers.

However, in my impassioned search for a desirable career in the renewables industry, I was able to change jobs to Siemens Energy Service where I felt I would gain job satisfaction as an engineering leader in the realm of administrative work. My experience with Siemens Energy Service as a mid-senior mechanical engineer was focused more on the maintenance of various sized wind turbines around the UK and Ireland. I was involved in the management of contractual jobs in the repair of defected drive train components. The administrative part of the job includes procurement of gearbox from vendors, man-hour estimation, purchase orders and invoice handling.

In the UK, I was associated with many affinity groups like CAN (Cultural Awareness Network) and ROAR (Recruit, Onboard, Advise, Retain) which has helped me to increase my fondness for other cultures. We mainly organised family days which involve the union of family and friends, employees from different cultures and we fostered short language learning courses for employees who wanted to travel overseas for work.

I left the UK in 2015 and was relocated to Nigeria due to a family emergency which required me to quit my Job. Soon after, I did some travelling around the globe in 2016 and by June I acquired a Job at the family establishment. We own a multi-million-dollar business located in Port Harcourt, Nigeria. Windrush Investment Limited was established in 2007 dealing in the trading of Italian tiles and sanitary wares. I worked for Windrush Investment Limited as a Business Development Manager, where my main responsibility was to improve sales by developing and monitoring various kinds of KPI (key Performance Indicators). Unfortunately, this experience was not in-line with my area of professional interest. Hence, another reason why I decided to pursue an MBA to enhance my leadership skills as an engineer.

These experiences I have acquired over the years that have led me to become more well-rounded technical engineer with focus in the maintenance and service of large-scale industrial equipment. With very little knowledge of business management, I am keen to develop my experience as an engineering leader. This MBA programme will assist in acquiring more management roles in the maintenance engineering sector like rotating equipment engineer, operations manager, contracts manager and various other management roles.

As a prospective self-funding student, I am not fully equipped with funding this programme, have not saved up a sizeable percentage of my earnings over the years for my tuition fees and accommodation. Receiving a scholarship will bring me one step closer to complete my education. The scholarship will assist my tuition fees, accommodation, living expenses and books which are pertinent to the successful completion of the programme. I try to improve my mindset, entrepreneurship, social innovation, personal traits and professional skill for successful completion of the scholarship program. As per ty personal trait, I try to change my environment from a stifling and suppressed environment where sexual discrimination is an offence and I try to live in a liberal society where people support LGBT community. Financial struggling for the mortgage of 2 bedroom flat in the UK and my current salary about 15000 USD per annum is not sufficient to meet my basic needs and in this regard I am grateful if you approve my scholarship as it increases my financial earnings and provides a scope to balance my life as well as enhance my skills and abilities in technical engineer with focus in the maintenance and service of large-scale industrial equipment.

Thank you in advance for considering my application.
