Program Description
The Team LEAD (Leadership Experiences and Development) undergraduate certificate provides students with leadership opportunities that are not typically available to them in the standard academic settings of their degree programs. The Team LEAD certificate further equips students with the skills needed to have a successful career match as they become leaders in their desired careers, whether they are entering that career immediately after graduation with their Bachelor's degree, or after additional graduate or professional education. Students entering the Team LEAD certificate begin as preceptors (peer-leaders and peer-mentors in the classroom) concurrent with experiential learning workshops to explore areas of effective communication, curriculum vitae/resume development, professional letters, personal statements, and interviewing/ guiding students to dive deeper into their personal career development skill-set as emerging leaders. Tiered internship courses allow students to directly practice and develop interpersonal skills important for entering positions of leadership as they serve as peer-leaders for multi-disciplinary student groups. Completion of the Team LEAD certificate signifies that students have an advanced capability, proficient knowledge, and multifaceted leadership experiences explored through group dynamics, career-related communication, public speaking/presenting, as well as digital and new media for professional use as pertaining to their desired career path.
