The Launch program is dedicated to uplifting early-career and front-line workers, enhancing their abilities with confidence-boosting, skills-building, research-backed learning. Developed in partnership with the Center for Creative Leadership (CCL), Launch is an accessible learning program that creates pathways to higher leadership for those kicking off their career journey.
At its accessible price point and low hourly commitment (four hours weekly for three weeks)this program is flexible enough to benefit attendees with tight schedules who would benefit from the boost it provides. Leaders will work their way through on-demand leadership lessons and join virtual group sessions to reinforce their learning and benefit from the networking and support of a group cohort.
