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 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 on-boarding program.

This is a great program for any business with employees 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: Self-Evaluation – What are your professional strengths and weaknesses; Professional Standards in the Workplace; How to Manage Staff; and Becoming Part of the Company Team.

The 4 week spring session starts May 2 and costs $300 per participant for all four sessions. Interested businesses or individuals should contact the Chamber at (717) 273-3727 to sign up.
