Sessions start Jan. 24 and run through May 16. Class size limited to 30. Manager approval is required to register; managers will be invited to a graduation luncheon. Register online.
Registration also is open for two other Learning & Development leadership programs: Management Fundamentals and Leading at All Levels.
