“The knowledge and network that come from this program are invaluable if you are looking to make a change, boost your confidence, expand your skillset, or even just increase your job security. I left the program with a fresh perspective and confidence in my current role, as well as a feeling of being more than qualified to be the best candidate for just about any job posting I happen to come across. This is a feeling that you cannot put a price tag on.”
