As a CU alumni and former student at the Deming Center for Entrepreneurship at the Leeds School of Business, I recently found out about an Executive Certificate Program being offered later this Fall 2010. Course dates are August 27, October 1, November 5, December 3 and the price is $990 for early registration, until July 31, and $1200 after that. Individual courses are $395 each. This sounds like a great program for anyone looking to expand their knowledge, spruce up their resume and position for jobs in the new energy economy. Official details follow.
If you attend the event please share your experiences here as I’m sure this will be a recurring program and it will help future attendees.
