The training, responsibilities, and experiences of military service are truly distinct. As we bring together executives from science, marketing, finance, and more, the voice of armed service veterans has the power to improve our understanding of what it means to be a leader, to be of service, and to create global impact. We at the Yale School of Management Executive Education want your voice in our classrooms, and seek to support you in developing your career. Our programs will hone the skills you already have, and add new skills to your repertoire. The Yale School of Management is proud to support special funding opportunities for military professionals through the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs for select programs.
