Financial Services Coordinator
"Being part of the cohort experience greatly assisted me in staying on track with my learning goals. The aspect of accountability was instrumental in ensuring I stayed committed to completing the assignments on time. Equally important was the support provided by all the team members throughout the experience. The sense of camaraderie helped enhance the overall learning experience."
Caitlin Lemon
Data Analyst
"A lot of online courses have one or two exercises and that’s it. I liked having projects that simulated what you would do in an actual job. It helped reinforce concepts and build my portfolio--which I used in my interview."
Zane DeClark
Senior Account Manager
"I was shocked at how much of a difference meeting just once a week made to keep me on track. I had the chance to collaborate and ask questions with the experts at Maven and all within a reasonable workload, even for someone in Sales, and sales never sleeps."
