Salem Community College Leadership Institute
SCC has a special mission to serve business and industry in Salem County and the Mid-Atlantic region.
The Institute features five levels of training process design:
Level I - Basic Supervisory Leadership is for supervisory leaders with less than one year of experience, those projected to be promoted to supervisory leadership positions, or for supervisory leaders with no prior supervisory leadership training.
Topics include the dimensions of supervisory leadership, qualities of successful supervisory leadership, maximizing employee motivation and performance, the leadership triad, and managing interpersonal relationships.
Level II - Intermediate Supervisory Leadership builds on Level I and is for those who have completed a Level I certificate.
Topics include the new generation workforce, principle of problem ownership, tools for activating the leadership triad, and personality typing (MBTI).
Level III - Advanced Supervisory Leadership builds on Level II and is for those who have completed a Level II certificate.
Topic is Situational Leadership.
Level IV - Resonant Supervisory Leadership builds on Level III and is for those who have completed a Level III certificate.
Topic is Leading With Emotional Intelligence.
Level V is customized for Executive Level Leadership.
The Institute is certificate-based and features both stand-alone and customized training processes in modular formats. However, the preference is to custom-design the training process to better meet individual client needs.
The approach begins with a front-end assessment featuring both interviews and pre-process questionnaires to determine specific needs and outcomes desired by the client. Analysis of the data collected drives the preliminary process design which is then presented to the client for review and validation. Employer validation of the outcomes and resulting training process initiates the final process design and contract negotiations.
Experience indicates that leadership training is most effective when it is research-based, simple, and direct. Therefore, training processes are practical, focused, and engaging, thus providing participants with the opportunity to integrate existing knowledge and experiences with new information and insights.
Training processes feature a multi-modal approach to learning that actively engages participants. Diagnostic, technique demonstration, role playing, messy-data scenarios, practical application, small group experiential activities, and lecturettes supported by printed materials and video-based media are featured to appeal to different learning styles.
The content materials are designed to reflect the dynamics and unique needs of the client operating environment and staff functioning. Thus, the training processes provide an array of opportunities to help participants develop, strengthen, and polish the behavioral skills necessary to carry out responsibilities with accountability and to deal effectively with the different situations managers typically encounter.
The role of substantive follow-up is to conduct both process and product evaluations, solicit feedback on the integration of the training process content into the work environment, to assess what is going well/getting in the way, to identify the expectation-reality gap, and to assess the means to close any existing gap.
