The Master’s Program candidates receive comprehensive, hands-on technical training complemented by career development coaching and the support of placement specialists. In addition, they develop portfolios and career marketing strategies which enable them to stand out in a competitive job market. Theresa Billy, Director of Client Services, says “We work with industry partners to identify their hiring needs and define marketplace skills gaps and trends and incorporate these into The Master’s Program.
