I am a mother of two, ages 7 and 2 months. I stay at home with the two months old because daycare is to expensive. This has been a wonderful opportunity for me because I was recently able to get a position within an organization human resources team that allows me to work from home. I truly believe if I was not apart of this program I would not have been considered for this position.” With the online learning, I am able to work at my own pace which is a blessing with a two months who makes her own schedule and my 7 year old son who is in a lot of activities. I like that everything is done online, there are no requirements to come in to a classroom and or even having to sit through seminars at a certain time on a specific day each week. With having children this program was best for me because they provide the due dates of assignments and gave us the options to turn them in early.
