Cohort Track

Leading others requires individuals to acquire and grow a new set of skills and abilities. The courses in this program have been chosen to provide leads, supervisors, managers, and individuals looking to move into one of these roles with foundational tools to help them be successful.

Developing as a leader goes beyond attending formal courses. Research shows that leadership potential is developed three distinct ways:

  • on-the-job (OJT) work experience,
  • coaching /mentoring from the person’s supervisor and/or other key individuals, and
  • formal classroom/virtual training.

A good manager must be able to handle a variety of situations. The courses in this program range in competencies and topics that will help a manager navigate these situations.

Participants in the cohort program will complete the curriculum together by meeting once a month in-person for 8-months.
