The Lebanon Valley Chamber of Commerce is holding a Professional Development Series to provide education, training and tools to employees or anyone in the workforce who may be in or ready to advance to a managerial position. Individuals attending the training will enter the workforce with a greater skill set. This is an accelerated leader onboarding program.

This program is perfect for any business that does not have an internal training program, students and individuals who are looking to advance their skills before applying for a position, or employees moving into entry-level supervisory positions.

The classes run one time a week for four weeks from 8:00 -10:30 am. Classes last 2½ hours each for a total of 10 hours of training.

Each class – after the first – will begin with a 30-minute reflection/discussion on how participants applied their new skills throughout the previous week. Participants leave with a toolkit of resources and information to back up the lessons.

Topics include a self-evaluation – what is your temperament and how can you learn to work with different temperaments; professional standards in the workplace; how to manage staff; and becoming part of the company team.

The 4-week spring session starts March 6 and costs $300 per participant for all four sessions. Interested businesses or individuals should contact the Chamber at (717) 273-3727 to sign up. Find additional details here.
