Who will fill your shoes?

Succession planning in any organization is both key to long-term success and challenging. Many organizations have great people who can become part of the succession plan with just a bit more investment.

Invest in your employees

When you look at your team you will quickly know that person who is always ready for any challenge. Sending them to Chemeketa's Bachelor’s of Applied Science program in Leadership and Management will show them your willingness to invest in their future with your organization.

Real time returns on investment

Classes in this program will return immediate results as your employee learns about their strengths and increases their capacity in strategic planning, effective communication, and critical thinking. Using their real-life experience, your employee will return from each class with ideas and energy.

Designed for working adults

We know how valuable employees are and how precious their time is. This program will meet one evening a week for seven terms. Students will complete additional work online so we can use the face-to-face time for engaged conversation and active learning. After a long day at work the last thing your employee wants is to sit and listen to a 3-hour lecture. Be assured they will find the class time engaging and the online work meaningful.

How can I support my employee as a BAS student?

• Hand pick your “go to" employee to apply for the program
• Provide work release to attend class and complete homework
• Use tuition reimbursement to invest in your employee
• Provide leadership experiences that allow your employee to learn on the job
• Engage your employee’s learning by having them share during team meetings

Prepare for the job that doesn't even exist yet

We live in a rapidly changing world and everyday jobs are created that no one planned for. The BAS in Leadership and Management provides thinking, planning and communication skills that will adapt to any new challenge or opportunity and allow you to stand out as the prepared leader.

Break through the paper ceiling

If you are the "go to" person at your job now but can't take that promotion because you don't have the right degree this program will help you break through that paper ceiling. This program enhances your existing skills with knowledge and skills that will clearly demonstrate you are ready for the next level.

You will learn to:

• Think like a leader
• Act like a leader
• Create opportunities for leadership
