Management Essentials
Learning Group |
|
This specialized program offers in-depth training by experts in a peer learning environment for new managers and those with up to 5 years of experience.
Managers are responsible for the planning, executing and implementing of a program or service that meets their organization’s objectives and helps to fulfill its mission. Managers take care of some day-to-day operations, but concentrate the majority of their time on overseeing supervisors, enabling them to carry out their daily operations. Duties can include hiring and firing, developing or monitoring budgets, interfacing with other managers and executives in the organization.
The six-week Management Essentials Learning Group, with three-hour sessions, gives managers the time and space to examine the essential steps to effectively fulfilling this role. By learning from experts and interacting with their peers, participants will find solutions for their particular on-the-job issues. This learning group also provides an opportunity for managers to develop a personal action plan journal that can be used during and after the program is completed. This program offers a manager with two to five years of experience the essentials needed to professionally grow as well as help their organization meets its mission.
