"I took your Six Sigma Green Belt class at USC a couple of weeks ago. I was hoping it would add something to make me stand out on a resume and it worked! I just accepted an awesome position at a semiconductor tech company, and I firmly believe sharing what I learned from your class and case studies was a major factor in what I think scored me the job. … Your course was a big factor on getting my job, and I'd like to keep learning! I can't thank you enough for how informative the program was. Definitely looking forward to further classes in the future!"
