Management Development training programs combine classroom management theory with practical on-the-job training. The Management Development curriculum includes courses designed to provide a practical, comprehensive program covering certain managerial activities. The program is designed to meet the needs of people preparing for careers in business and industry such as retailing, wholesaling, industrial management, small business, human resources and more. The Management Development program supports the theory that there is no substitute for world-of-work experience in the learning process. Management course work includes studies in basic principles of management, human relations, group dynamics, motivation of individuals and groups, leadership development, organization of work and people, study of supervisory functions, and many other management interests.
Concurrent with the Management Development courses, the Supervision major is required to take a Practicum which coordinates job training with classroom theory. One of the requirements of the Practicum course is that a student works a minimum of 15 hours per week at a training station approved by a Management Development Coordinator. Designed as a development tool, the practicum requires that the Management Development Coordinator, the employer, and the student agree on a tentative training outline of personal development plan which, according to specific guidelines, must approve, enhance, and demonstrate personal and professional managerial skills of the student at work. This practicum helps the student receive practical training and experience compatible with his or her management career objective.
The Certificate of Technology is designed for students who desire to earn a credential after one year of study. All courses on the Certificate of Technology may apply toward the Small Business Entrepreneur Associate of Applied Science degree.
Occupational Certificates are designed to provide entry-level skills and to be a foundation for completing a higher-level certificate or degree. Students must complete all the courses required for a certificate within three years and make a grade of C or better in each course.
