My career at the company excelled during my studies. My employer recognized the commitment I made and that I was utilizing what I learned in the classroom to my role.

It doesn’t feel like a virtual program. I meet my team for the group work two or three times a week. We also meet on a social basis. I now know them all so well now - you never feel alone.
