“This program is ideal for someone looking to build foundational business skills, whether to advance in management roles or pivot to new areas. I encourage people to follow their curiosity, as much of my success has stemmed from this.
Caitlyn Calder-Bellamy Co-Founder
“During the last year of my undergraduate degree, I wasn't entirely sure what career path to take. Marketing always intrigued me, and during my undergrad, I had a few opportunities to explore it. The short duration of the program and the potential for an internship really influenced my decision, as I saw it as a great way to gain practical experience and transition into the professional world.”
