Developmental Training

Leadership Development Programs

Focused on developing current and future federal executives, managers and leaders, the Graduate School leadership programs strengthen both individual and organizational performance. They offer long-term (three months to one year) career development programs for individuals at various government levels. Their programs provide a broad range of executive, managerial and leadership training, plus continuing opportunities for professional development.

Once a year, CHR announces each program separately (if funds are available). There will be a panel to select the most qualified employee to represent the University. For further information on the programs contact the Center for Leadership and Management at lda@graduateschool.edu or call CHR's Training Division at 301-295-9893.
