I want to begin by sharing that I'm currently at the entry level within my company, and in just three days of attending Supply Chain courses at Georgia Tech, l've learned an incredible amount. My instructor (Derek Browning) was absolutely phenomenal, and our tech assistant, Andy, went above and beyond to ensure everything ran smoothly. Even when some of us lost power (Hurricane Helene) during the testing period and couldn't log in, Andy stayed in close communication with us via text, which was greatly appreciated. I'm so grateful for the knowledge and wisdom the team shared, and I would absolutely reach out to them for any future services. This experience left me feeling empowered and well-educated. It was truly an amazing experience!
