Our program is intentionally designed to allow participants the time they need to do their job while learning and applying the skills they need to succeed. Resources are provided to support managers in their efforts to reinforce and transfer the learning to the job.

Participant time commitment: approximately 4 hours per week
Tuition: $3,750
