The program will expose students to project management, budgeting, professional communication, marketing, operations management, business law and personal finance as they begin their careers, according to UD.
“We want to give students a leg up in the job market when they graduate,” said professor Peter Wagner, who created the program.
The program will include sessions with local businesses, government representatives and others. Graduates will receive a certificate of their completion, according to the university.
Students do not have to attend the University of Dayton to apply for the class.
