Project Leads to Promotion
Jesus Aldape Jr. MS’24
“Systems project management course (where we) focused on my company’s current project management operations, and we actually came with a full-fledged plan for helping them optimize and looking at some of the gaps they were having in the processes. I took that to my directors, and I ended up getting a promotion out of it.”
Big Picture & Better Leadership
Brandon Allen MS’18
“If you really want to go beyond just doing small portions of design, if you really want to get involved in the big picture, you’ve really got to advance and start looking at things from a systems perspective. This program has really helped me do that, as well as balancing this with the softer stuff – the management, the leadership that I can work with these people and just fit in and move through the system a little bit better.”
