The School of Public Health Staff LEADS program provides in-depth leadership training and development through hands-on activities and professional coaching sessions. Participants gain important skills to take on new challenges, create increased value for their workgroup and the school, and support ongoing career development.
Our next program will kick off in Fall 2020, more to come next summer.
