Certificate Programs
Several Training Certificate Programs offered by campus training departments are coordinated through the Employee & Organizational Development department. Enrollment is offered through the UC Learning Center or by application as noted below.
Management Skills Assessment Program"Investing Today in the Leaders of Tomorrow" |
|
The Management Skills Assessment Program (MSAP) is a long-standing UC management development program offering an intensive off-site assessment center experience for early career managers. The goal of MSAP is to address skill deficits and grow competencies that will prepare internal employees for future role opportunities in their UC workplaces. The program is best suited for high-potential individuals who have a demonstrated management career path (through education and/or experience).
Participants will be guided through a series of structured exercises where they will be observed by trained assessors who offer feedback about observed strengths and development areas. Subsequent collaborative work after the program between the assessee participant and his/her sponsoring manager fine tunes a professional development plan designed to optimize assessment feedback.

Building Core Supervisory Competencies Program
|
|
The Building Core Supervisory Competencies program emphasizes participation and practice of supervisory skills through the use of self-assessment inventories, case studies, homework assignments, and small group exercises. This comprehensive program begins with an orientation for participants. Participants then complete 6 core courses and a variety of electives, followed by a wrap-up session and graduation celebration. Courses offer skills and techniques that help supervisors develop their leadership skills, helping them successfully manage and develop their teams. An optional assignment will be offered for those who want to gain the most benefit from the program. On-the-job follow-up activities which involve both the supervisor and the participant will be provided to assist in reinforcing new skills. Here is what people have to say about the program“The leadership qualities I was able to gain and develop, inform all of my decisions and have truly changed me as a leader and a person. I highly recommend this program to those who would like to develop different leadership perspectives and make meaningful connections with cross campus partners.” “This has truly strengthened me as a leader and has contributed greatly to what I have to offer my department and the campus,” she said. “I am incredibly grateful for the experience and colleagues I have been able to connect with and learn from.” “We each walked away with tangible skills that we’re putting to practice in our offices, and also a wider network of collaborators, committed to fostering professional development and promoting diversity and inclusion across UC Riverside.” “Not only did the trainings give me insight and tools to what it takes to be a competent supervisor, but I also learned much about UCR that I did not know – in spite of being on campus for more than 15 years.” RequirementsThe program is specifically designed for employees with two to five years of supervisory experience who want to develop a broad range of skills that can enhance their performance in carrying out supervisory duties.
The full-day courses and electives are taken over an eight-month period of time. A final wrap-up session and graduation round out the formal program. Participants are encouraged to continue their development and collaboration with their cohort post-program. Electives can be instructor led (typically 3.5-4 hours) or eLearning courses. Acceptable eLearning courses are reviewed during the program orientation. |
