After a 4-year career gap following post-graduation to focus on family, I was anxious about restarting my professional journey. While my MBA covered HR theories, CRE gave me the real practical exposure I lacked—from recruitment and corporate training to payroll processing. Learning directly from industry veterans with over 20 years of experience gave me immense motivation and hands-on clarity. Today, I have complete confidence to step back into the corporate HR field. Immense thanks to CRE and the amazing mentors!
