Global Network: By the end of the program, you will have built a global network of talented Engineers, Product Managers, Data Scientists and Data Analysts, Product Designers, Marketeers, and business leaders. You will also have an extensive network for peers with whom you will have built great relationships! It is a small industry and the network you build and the impression you make during the program will be invaluable throughout your career.
