Level-up your performance as a manager
Essentials for New Managers is a program for new and aspiring not-for-profit managers to strengthen their management skills.
Over three sessions, program participants gain tools and approaches to achieve success in their new management role.
Is Essentials for New Managers right for you?
You are an ideal candidate if you:
- are new to a not-for-profit management role or are looking to be promoted in the next 6-12 months
- provide leadership or supervision in your current role
- have a vision to take on further management responsibilities in your not-for-profit career
If you are the sole employee in your organization (e.g. the executive director), this may NOT be the best program for you. We encourage you to also consider our other programs including: Leadership Principles, ED101, and our many workshops available.
