Fundamentals of Management Certificate

The transition from performing as an individual contributor to managing others requires an expanded and deepened skill set in interpersonal management. This Certificate Program helps participants achieve their potential at an accelerated rate. The program brings together foundational required courses with a series of electives so that each individual can tailor a program to specific strengths and needs. In addition to learning from world-class presenters and experts in their fields, participants will network with up-and-coming managers from organizations throughout the region.

Who Should Attend:

This certificate is especially helpful for supervisors who manage complex projects and special assignments, and for professionals managing ad hoc, cross-functional teams.
