The Department of Human Resources and the Lockheed Martin Engineering Management Program are excited to continue their partnership on an exclusive Leadership and Management Graduate Certificate Program for CU-Boulder employees, with an opportunity for Spring 2015 enrollment. This program was successfully launched in Fall 2013 and has current participation from nearly 68 CU-Boulder employees, from all corners of campus and varied levels of the organization.

The goal of this certificate program is to help our current and future leaders develop and refine their leadership skills and learn new ways to measure and enhance organizational effectiveness with practical application. In fact, many participants are actively involved in working with the Office of Performance Improvement (OPI) to implement the Business Performance Excellence (BPE) model (taught in one of the four certificate classes) in their respective departments. The content of this certificate program is applicable to all professions and does not require a technical or engineering background.

This 12-credit hour certificate program has been designed with CU-Boulder employees in mind. In addition to being able to use the tuition benefit to cover tuition, employees selected to participate in this exclusive program will be allowed to attend classes during work time and the employee鈥檚 department will pay for the costs of any fees and books.听

Employees interested in furthering their graduate level education may apply this certificate program towards a Masters in Engineering (ME), however up to three classes (9 credits) may be applicable towards other graduate degrees as elective credits. For those interested in participating in these classes as non-credit, non-degree seeking participants, opportunities still exist to participate in either a classroom or distance learning environment.

This initiative is one of several exciting efforts underway in Human Resources to continually address feedback from the 2012 Employee Engagement Survey that clearly identified leadership development and career advancement as two of five central themes of importance to our employees. The Department of Human Resources recognizes the importance of providing growth opportunities, including management and leadership development programs such as this one, to help our employees be more successful in their current and future positions.听
