The North Carolina Central University (NCCU) Management Development Institute (MDI) is designed to provide management and leadership skills for new mid-level managers and those promoted and/or hired into mid-level management positions. In addition, those who manage major projects that impact campus-wide are eligible. Participants will learn to lead, coach, and be an integral part of their work team while defining roles, objectives, and responsibilities. The MDI program will build a more efficient, effective, and highly motivated team that enhances excellence and improves employee morale. The interactive program includes self-assessments, small group case study discussions, role-plays, and a review of NCCU policies, procedures and practices as well as professional development skill enhancement. The program is offered each semester one day per week for five – six weeks on Wednesdays (unless otherwise noted). The program is mandatory and invitation only.
