A strong candidate application presents evidence for leadership potential, including:

  • Information about professional and educational background
  • Evidence of formal and informal professional development
  • Impact of current leadership and management experiences
  • Breadth of current leadership experiences
  • Rationale for seeking leadership roles and possible impact of the training on their current leadership role

This course is held twice a year in the fall and spring.
