Employee Development

The Columbia Montour Chamber of Commerce understands that a key component of the Chamber's role is assisting local organizations in getting the training and employee development resources that they need.

MANAGEMENT and LEADERSHIP CERTIFICATE PROGRAM

Area employers have expressed a need for employee training in basic management and team leadership. Based upon input from these employers, Commonwealth University-Bloomsburg has partnered with The Columbia Montour Chamber of Commerce to offer a five-session Management and Leadership Certificate Program, designed to develop and sharpen skills that relate to leading in today's workplace environment.   The program is appropriate for new or emerging leaders or existing workplace leaders, managers, and supervisors who have not previously been exposed to leadership training.  The program is open and applicable to all types and sizes of employer.
