Emily Cancian—AI Business Consultant, ConvergeOne

"The Early Career MBA program opened a lot of doors for me just by providing exposure to fields and career paths that I otherwise would never have considered. One unit in an information systems class introduced me to the process of building chatbots and ultimately led me to designing them for a living. I love what I do, but as someone with a non-technical background, this career path was unexpected, and one that I would not have found without the Early Career MBA program."

David Capune—Operations Manager, Seattle Shirt Company

"Through the program, I was able to transition into an entirely new career path with my current organization. Starting as a part-time cashier during undergrad, I have worked my way up. Classes in operations, project management and business strategy prepared me to help a small business grow. In my new role, I am leveling up the company’s processes to match their growth. I never would have had the confidence to propose this new role if not for the lessons I learned in the program.”
