ACEC-CO Online Business Essentials Certificate Accelerates Leadership Readiness
The American Council of Engineering Cos. of Colorado has created a new business-education certificate called Business Essentials, in partnership with Denver-based Jones International University (JIU), a provider of online education. The certificate is intended to bridge the gap between technical expertise and leadership education.
The Business Essentials Certificate prepares consulting engineering professionals for leadership positions and to enter entrepreneurial roles as they start up their own firms or advance into management positions. The curriculum includes four master’s-degree-level courses—ethics, economics, accounting and financial management.
