LEADERSHIP & SUPERVISION DEVELOPMENT
Become the Leader You Were Always Meant to Be

You know that being in charge takes more than just telling subordinates what to do. Supervision and leadership—it’s about taking responsibility not only for the work to be done, but the people who do it. Leaders offer a vision for how things could be better. They inspire and motivate. They also lace up their shoes and pitch in to help.

Professionals who take the time and effort to gain true leadership skills make an impact for their companies, their employees, and their careers. At the College of Continuing and Professional Studies (CCAPS), we offer several specific leadership-level certificate programs to help working professionals grow into leadership and prepare for the next level.
