“This is not your typical Project Management course. This program helps you define yourself; it builds your trust and makes you more confident in being a leader. Being a leader is the most essential skill needed for a Project Manager. In addition, the LinkedIn training is excellent and provides enough CU hours to qualify for the Certified Associate in Project Management (CAPM)! g8 has impacted my sense of self by giving me more self-confidence. Being able to talk with career coaches to receive constructive criticism regarding my resume, cover letter, LinkedIn profile, and the mocked interview with recommendations, I was able to come back to the drawing board and improve each one of those items. In addition, I thought I was a terrible interviewer, but the mentor gave me highlights that will enhance my interview techniques.”
“The mock interviews were extremely helpful. Being in the unique position of usually having found my jobs organically through relationships, I have very little experience going through the application and interview process. It was an area that I was very nervous about. Doing the mock interviews gave me a lot of confidence in myself and showed me areas open to improvement. The skills that I learned in the program have helped me to craft a more accurate timeline and execution plan, as well as better identify all the stakeholders of the project and build a more comprehensive communication plan. I would absolutely recommend g8 Skills Accelerator to others. The program was very thorough in the material covered, but one of my favorite things is that the g8 team is continually at our disposal even after the program.”
“It exceeded my expectations. I really love the self-paced aspect of the curriculum. I didn’t necessarily have to do everything within a certain time frame, so that gave me a little bit more flexibility… But I also appreciated the accountability that came with the weekly check-ins. That provided an important aspect of staying engaged with the program. Learning about the different types of project management, from Agile to Waterfall, helped me see how I can adapt my leadership style and my approach to different projects based on their specific needs… Within a project, you might need to use one style for one person and another style for someone else. The program gave me a broader perspective on being adaptable, which is crucial for success in any project… I would definitely recommend gener8tor Skills to job seekers as well as entrepreneurs. Regardless of what your needs are, they cater to that within the program, so I feel like it’s fitting for anybody.”
