秀色短视频 School of Business Administration offers new programs in executive education in 2008

| News

秀色短视频's School of Business Administration will begin offering executive education programs in January 2008, in partnership with York University's Schulich Executive Education Centre.

Programs will be tailored to suit the needs of today's entrepreneurs and executives, emphasizing 'just-in-time' learning that is focused, practical and immediately applicable.

'We're very pleased to provide leaders in the local business community with valuable, career-enhancing programs. In today's fast-paced, competitive and ever-changing market, entrepreneurs and executives must be able to quickly develop and fine-tune personal business skills to address immediate situations. These programs are designed to do just that,' noted Roberta MacDonald, dean of the School of Business Administration.

Local business leaders learned about these exciting opportunities at a recent program launch hosted by the School of Business Administration in Charlottetown. Representatives from Schulich provided information and answered questions about the first programs that will be delivered, starting in late January.

Schulich's nine-module 'Master's Certificate in Project Management' will be delivered in 18 days over four months. It covers all the fundamentals of the internationally accepted 'project management body of knowledge' in a format that works with the time limitations of today's professionals. It is ideal for project managers who wish to move to a higher level in their field, as well as mid- and senior-level managers who have completed an introductory project management program.

An intensive three-day seminar entitled 'Leadership Through Teambuilding' will be offered in February and May. Participants will learn leadership and teambuilding strategies to maximize the effectiveness of work teams or staff they currently manage. The seminar will explore a variety of topics within three core learning modules: successful team foundations, group leadership and empowerment, and team leadership in action.

'The School of Business Administration is continually changing and evolving to respond to the demands of today's fast-paced, competitive business landscape. We're excited about the future of executive education at 秀色短视频, and confident it will provide local entrepreneurs and executives with valuable and career-enhancing opportunities,' said MacDonald.

The School of Business Administration is working with Pinnacle Marketing Group and Schulich to identify programming that best fits the needs of the Island's business community.
