Since my background is not IT, I wanted a program that could introduce me to the basic concepts of technologies 4.0, also having the best faculty teachers on the field was a key consideration for my decision, and lastly, the fact that the program included a coach to accompany along the way made me feel comfortable with the fact that even when it is not my area of expertise, somebody would be there for me one on one.

Faculty-led webinars and Learning Facilitator’s office hours serve different purposes within the program. Faculty-led webinars are conducted twice per course, at the beginning and end, where MIT faculty introduce and conclude the topics covered. On the other hand, Learning Facilitator’s office hours, led by subject experts, are held weekly to review and delve into each weekly module. These sessions aim to assist participants in assimilating and deepening their understanding of the course material.
The Impact Project is a collaborative project that spans the entire duration of the certificate program. The aim of the project is to identify a problem, propose a solution, and employ the tools acquired through each course to demonstrate actionable methods to arrive at the end goal. In this way, this project ensures that participants have the opportunity to reflect on the covered topics, apply and link new knowledge from each program within the Blended Professional Certificate. The impact project culminates with a final pitch presented at the MIT Campus during the second residential week.
During the Blended Professional Certificate journey, participants attend two on-campus residential weeks: one at the beginning and another at the end. These weeks involve masterclasses led by MIT Faculty, campus tours, expert speaker sessions, networking events, and more. The second residential week concludes the experience by presenting the Impact Project and celebrating with a Certificate Award Ceremony.
