“Anybody who’s in business needs to continue to learn and acquire new skills. I was seeking a certificate program to continue my education. For me personally, to continue my education, I took programs at the Harvard Business School, and now this program at The University of Vermont.”

“We have a leadership team at work, and as a group we work very closely together. We’d been seeking a leadership program to really bring us together as a team. With the CLI program, we’ve learned to work together in a completely different way”

“I was interested in continuing my professional development and being able to interact with my peers on a continual basis. This program has been great for my needs. The individual classes have been fantastic because they’ve given an overview of the subject matter and then they’ve focused on a strategic level which is what you really need in leadership and management positions.”
