Professionals and Online Education

Did you know that construction on The Pentagon began September 11, 1941, and sixty years later American Airlines flight 77 crashed into the side of it? This military building houses the U.S. Department of Defense, which is the headquarters of The Joint Chiefs of Staff. The structure is so impressive that tours are held for the public, which began on May 17, 1976 and have only grown in popularity.

The Pentagon may well be a historical landmark, but it is still buzzing with some of the most significant activity in the world. The Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff has 2,000 military members who support him – and those members also need to be trained. Look no further than Claudia Chladek, who is the Program Manager for the Joint Staff Training Program at the Pentagon. Chladek turned to capella university for her educational needs, like so many other professionals around the globe.

Capella University offers online education to over 19,000 students, many who are highly successful business people with not a lot of time on their hands to engage in a formal classroom setting. Chladek also takes time to talk about her online learning experience in the school’s podcast. Capella University continues to educate current and potential students with their podcast series, aimed at giving listeners an inside look at their program offerings and benefits. The series also gives professionals such as Chladek the opportunity to inspire others with their personal accounts of how they manage their professional life and how they’ve successfully integrated education into the equation.
