The FSCJ Leadership Academy is designed to enhance leadership skills and build upon existing components of the professionalism competency to propel employees toward being effective leaders. Improved leadership skills foster better employee engagement and retention while supporting the Mission, Vision, and Values of the College. In addition to coursework, participants will complete a 360 degree survey, DiSC assessment, and StrengthsFinder assessment.
This two-year program will entail 50 hours of course participation beginning with the Foundations of Leadership session and participants will have the opportunity to work with a mentor. This program is cohort-based and applications are accepted at the beginning of each Fall term.
