[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I did employer-paid executive development programs at two different Ivys.  They were useful both in terms of imparting relevant training/education for my field and in connecting with new professional contacts in my field from other employers.  It probably also doesn't hurt my resume or LinkedIn to be able to cite those institutions as part of my "educational" background.  [/quote]

Those “elite” certifications are so cringe[/quote]

How are they cringe?

I attended a month-long one in person and it was fantastic.  I came back smarter, refreshed, energized... it was well worth the investment for both me and my employer.  I don't pretend that I'm some Ivy graduate now if that's what you mean.  But I got real value out of it.[/quote]

I don't think going is cringe, but putting it on LinkedIn is, because it does seem like that's the claim being made.

And it's not clear when people do that if their employer paid. [/quote]

LinkedIn is for factual information about one's qualifications, education, and experience.  Executive education programs and relevant substantive professional certifications certainly qualify.  Why would one deliberately underrepresent oneself?  [/quote]
