"My experience with Calbright has been very positive. It was different from the way I remembered college. It was even fun! I enjoyed the virtual seminars with Career Services and the one-on-one Zoom meetings with the counselors to review and update my resume and cover letter. Meeting with my professors to review the course materials was easy, they offered a variety of hours to meet virtually that included evenings and weekends. I appreciated that they were available outside of normal business hours. There was always somebody available to connect with you."

My position at a non-profit foundation ended when they closed due to Covid-19. I now had the opportunity to continue my education, which was a positive aspect of the pandemic. The fact that Calbright College was a free virtual program was very important to me. 

I was looking to expand my job skills and enrolled in the CRM Platform Administration program. Being familiar with Salesforce as a consumer, I was interested to become a certified administrator.

The program took about six months to complete, and now I’m getting ready to take my Salesforce administrator exam and use my new resume to reinvent my career.

I am fortunate to have discovered Calbright. Thank you!
