Monash University Partnership Series - Janine Mohamed

Why is education important for business?  In this episode, Dr Janine Mohamed, CEO of the Lowitja Institute, tells Mundanara that although we operate in a white system, Blak business owners often aren’t motivated to go into business for the same reasons as non-Indigenous businesses.  Education, she says, taught her a lot about herself - what not to do and who she didn’t want to be.  Dr Janine Mohamed is a proud Narrunga Kaurna woman from Point Pearce in South Australia who has dedicated her career to Indigenous health through roles in nursing, management and policy for over two decades.  This episode is proudly supported by Monash University, promoting the Masters of Indigenous Business Leadership program, delivered by Monash Business School & The William Cooper Institute. The Master of Indigenous Business Leadership, is a cross-disciplinary program with leading units delivered by Monash Business School, complemented by a tailored offering in design thinking, together with a mastery unit from Law. The partnership series features interviews with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander past and current students, staff and guest speakers from the program. You will hear all about what the Masters of Indigenous Business Leadership program has to offer including valuable insight and stories of amazing business journeys and leadership.
