ABOUT OTM
“Before OTM, I had little to no exposure on what a professional working environment looks like, or what topics such as financial literacy were. OTM was able to change that for me and give me the experience to get ahead as a high school student.”
- Fathima Shaikh, Payton '23 -
“OTM has helped me develop management skills that guarantee success in the future with whatever projects come my way. While being on the OTM Supply Chain team, I am able to practice collaboration, leadership, and problem-solving. OTM surely has prepared me for my career life.”
- Vivian Kaleta, Payton '24 -
“OTM has been a wonderful experience that has provided me a good look into a career in journalism. I can hone my passion for financial literacy and medicine/STEM in my articles. Not only do I improve my writing skills, but also my leadership and communications skills."
