The Builders Exchange of Central Ohio serves local commercial construction companies and they wanted help developing the management skills and business knowledge of their future leaders. To accomplish this, in 2006 we partnered with The Ohio State University Fisher College of Business to develop an intensive program that includes classroom lecture and discussion, case studies, projects for application of learning and networking events. With faculty from OSU, the BX Rising Leaders Institute prepares high potential individuals to serve as future leaders. The content is relevant to our industry, and the sessions provide valuable interactive conversations between individuals who will be making their mark within their companies. The affiliation and content through the prestigious Fisher College of Business is a strong marketing point!"

From presenting a revamped team vision to a large group, to hosting a managers' meeting with over a hundred attendees, and even engaging in persuasive discussions with senior figures, I feel prepared and unflappable. The program not only enhanced my strategic thinking, innovation, data analytics, and financial skills but also significantly boosted my communication abilities."

My experience with the OSU & JPMC - Graduate Certificate in Data Analytics Program was transformative both personally and academically. Entering the program with minimal background in Data Analytics, I recognized it as a unique opportunity to cultivate a skill set increasingly vital across all industries. The education I received was not limited to hard skills, but also in leadership and project management. I wholeheartedly endorse this program for individuals seeking to expand their data expertise and elevate their leadership capabilities. Not to mention, you get to call yourself a Buckeye!"
