Certificate in Leadership Development


Adult / Professional Development -
2025-2026 CE School Year

Especially geared for future leaders in the Gen Y generation (born 1980-1999), the certificate provides how-to practical information on advancing your leadership potential and making a difference in both the workplace and in society.
Find out what it takes to become an effective leader. Discover your style of leadership. Discuss task completion, building relationships with your subordinates, becoming socially perceptive to changes in the workplace, utilizing your emotions in a positive and effective manner, and addressing challenging goals.
Then, learn the unspoken secrets that leaders know and the strategies they employ/exhibit in for influencing others.
Leadership skills are acquired and learned. You can become a leader if you know the do’s and don’ts; what to say, what not to say; what to do, what not to do.
At the end of completing this certificate, you will come away with a new understanding, new toolbox of leadership skills, and the information to move your leadership development into high gear.

Registering for this certificate program will automatically enroll you in the three required courses: Leadership Principles, Developing Your Leadership Skills, and Developing Your Professional Career.
