Completing my Master of Arts in Organzational Training and Performance Management helped me further my career and reach my goal of being able to independently teach at the undergraduate level. Not only that, but I now have the skills to effectively identify organizational needs and develop curriculum that is catered to adult learners, while achieving institutional goals. This program has made me a better instructor, supervisor, trainer and leader.
