Employers assume you are knowledgeable about your area of study. However, it’s often “the little things” that separate good candidates from great ones. This is the difference between who gets interviewed and who gets hired.
The Student Professional Development Program gives you that extra edge. In our non-credit workshops, we discuss important subjects there isn’t time to cover in the classroom. The workshops are informative, hands-on, and practical. They are led by professionals who know what employers look for in prospective employees.
This program is one more way the College of Business Administration helps prepare you to LEAD in the 21st Century.
Attend all four workshops for only $99.
