Juergen Juffa, Graduate Certificate in Training and Development

I am a financial executive and entered RU’s Training and Development program to prepare for my retirement career as a financial trainer and adjunct faculty. While completing the core courses for my Graduate Certificate in Training and Development, I discovered how suitable and applicable many of the classes were for my current line of work. Courses such as Organization Development, Managing Organizational Change, Human Performance Improvement, and Project Management have all proven to be highly relevant for my daily managerial challenges as a Vice President of Finance. I have come to consider RU’s TRDV program to be the perfect complement of the MBA program that I graduated from a few years ago.

RU’s TRDV program has allowed me to concentrate on the practical applications of the studied material without neglecting the theoretical basis, always enabling immediate transfer of the learning into my work life. RU’s faculty of experienced practitioners as well as accomplished scholars is always supportive of my individual academic goals. The variety of course delivery, face to face, online, as well as blended formats has ensured maximum flexibility for me as I balance a challenging career and family responsibilities with ongoing academic progress. The program’s administrative support has been outstanding in its efficiency and responsiveness to my concerns and suggestions.
