Student Testimonials
The homework assignments were all very engaging and helpful learning experiences. I got a lot out of when the whole class was able to problem solve about a client or employer issue – all the different perspectives were really helpful.
I feel we can always be learning and growing and networking is a great way to do that. I find the course to be something that moves employment workers ahead.
It is a great course, goes into great depths, can be challenging and take a bit of time but it is worth it.
