IEM is a distinguished business opportunity for any professional looking to advance their career. However, we realize that for a variety of reasons it doesn’t always make sense to pack-it-up and haul-it over to Birmingham, AL. So, to make things easier and better for our clients, we decided that if you can’t come to us we will bring the classroom to you.
You can now take IEM courses virtually. We put you in the classroom via your computer. Through IEM Virtual Access you can be in the classroom, participating and learning alongside other clients, without ever having to leave your computer. The experience is totally unique in that we allow clients remote access to IEM’s premiere experience.
Clients of IEM receive a real-world view, a focus on networking and a solid group of successfully established instructors who are passionate about seeing their clients grow in their business and as professional individuals–no matter where you are! IEM instructors and administrators make it a priority to work with clients so that this degree can fit into their schedules, lives, and now their location— where ever that happens to be.
What to expect from the IEM Virtual Access experience:
- Real-World Experience. IEM clients will not be doing academic exercises from out-dated textbooks that do not apply to how things really work. In fact, we get clients up and DOING as much as possible. Using projects, group sessions, C-Level interviews, lectures, and anything else we can think of– we incorporate all bodies of knowledge as needed – but our focus is on delivering Return-on-Investment very quickly. (We know – ROI is a time based equation – but you get the idea!)
- We focus on you! IEM is client-centric – i.e. the clients (you) are our focus. We are not working to map all graduates into the same model, and we are not your typical graduate degree. The way we see it, our job is to train you and give you what you need to reach success professionally. Each client entering IEM has unique skills and goals. Our goal is to help each person decide what they WANT and then go after getting it – TODAY. The IEM leadership team believes no time is like the present for going after what you want — no need to say “I will do this when I get my degree.” We want you working on your goals as part of the IEM experience.
- Hands on Training and a Tangible Learning Experience. You will not find yourself sitting for hours watching online PowerPoint presentations made by faculty who do not even know if you are listening. No monotone Ben Stein moments here. Instead the faculty will provide you a road map of educational content consisting of videos, books, conferences, and content from a variety of sources. Leave rote memorization to elementary math class, in IEM, we’ll have you actively pursuing your professional goals from day one.
- Extreme Networking. You will be connected to others! We will form regional teams to work together and hold each other accountable! In addition to that, you will meet tons of people and form professional connections faster and better than anywhere else. And we teach you how to continue these networking skills outside of IEM.
- Alumni Connections. You will be connected to the alumni! IEM alumni are a very active group of professionals! Expect to develop meaningful and lifelong friendships! And expect more opportunities!!
- We bring IEM to YOU. Most online degrees provided by major universities like UAB have a required residency. Instead, we plan to come to you! (That’s just practical!) Bringing you to the big city of Birmingham, AL and introducing you to professionals here would be nice – but our network is not the network YOU need. So we intend to bring you the tools and training you need to develop your personal network where you are!
- IEM is at your convenience! Time zones, not a problem. We will set the schedules for the groups and teams based on the needs of all!
IEM online starts every fall, and follows the same curriculum path as the on-site specialization.
