Essentials
Meet a graduate
"I
believe that adding the Certificate of Business Essentials
made me more marketable and helped expand my job possibilities
following graduation. I was able to promote myself by displaying
the writing and communication skills learned from my English
major, combined with the fact that I had taken the initiative
to learn the business world as well. Eventually, I landed
at Fidelity Investments as a retirement specialist; a career
path that was a direct result of my enrollment in the Certificate
of Business Essentials."

"I
majored in Computer Science with a minor in MIS. I knew that
no matter what career I jumped into, business knowledge would
help me support my clients. As a software developer at Vanguard,
I quickly develop applications because I understand why the
clients are asking for specific requirements. The knowledge
I gained from the certificate courses has improved my overall
understanding of the world."

"I
was a psychology major at the University of Delaware. After
graduation I pursued a career in business. In all of my interviews
I stressed the importance of the Certificate of Business Essentials.
I explained the broad range of knowledge I gained as a result
of being involved in the program. I am now working in financial
services, an area of business I would never have been exposed
to had I not enrolled in this program. The certificate greatly
enhanced the value of my degree and has allowed me to apply
those credentials to a career."
