Here’s what some of our alumni are saying about their experiences with professional development and corporate training offerings from MUN.

“The Advanced Leadership Program (ALP) has immensely improved my leadership abilities, helped me gain perspectives towards my own development and providing strategic thought processes to consider moving forward.”

- Kevin Critch, Regional Sales Director - East, Ignite Technology | 2023 Advanced Leadership Program (ALP) Graduate | Gardiner Centre

"I’ve been working in a Project Engineering role for almost 9 years. MCPM has added to my experience by introducing further formality, providing proven processes, and functional tools/templates to project management that I had not been using. It was easier to see the big picture with homework, in-class exercises and the overall simulation that integrated all the class topics at the end."

- Ameet Oad, Senior Project Estimator, Cenovus Energy | 2022 Masters Certificate in Project Management (MCPM) Graduate | Gardiner Centre

"I have found the CPD programs that I have completed through the Office of Professional and Educational Development (OPED) to be extremely beneficial; informative, varied, user-friendly, and relevant to my professional educational and leadership goals. I have completed a certificate in Medical Teaching, Certificate in Local and Global Health Equity and participated in various programming related to leadership, research, equity, diversity, inclusion and Indigenous Health. I strongly recommend these CPD opportunities to supplement growth in one's career in the pursuit of life-long learning."

- Dr Boluwaji Ogunyemi, Clinical Assistant Professor of Medicine, Memorial University | Certificate in Medical Teaching | Office of Professional & Educational Development (OPED)

"The Advanced Administrative Professionals Program was very interactional & informative. I really enjoyed listening to other administrative professionals input on the various topics that were covered."

- Peggy Kieley, Project Administrator, Cahill | Spring 2022 Advanced Administrative Professionals Program (AAPP) Graduate | Gardiner Centre

"Another example of the Gardiner Centre bringing in top talent to teach the business community. The instructors can speak to any media question, given their vast experience. Anyone speaking to media for their business or organization should consider taking this course. It has information you likely didn't know you needed!"

- Mari-Lynn Taylor, Choices for Youth | 2023 Custom Training Participant | Gardiner Centre

"I would recommend the training to anyone in customer service, it was eye-opening and well-constructed. An amazing instructor, he made the course interesting and exciting. I felt engaged the entire time and he allowed time for everyone to share their personal experiences without pressure. It was an open and honest day, and I left feeling heard and educated"

- Katelyn Upshall, Personal Lines Account Manager, Wedgwood Insurance | Providing Exceptional Customer Service | Gardiner Centre
