State Civil Service’s Comprehensive Public Training Program (CPTP) is excited to announce the launch of our brand- new Leadership Academy! This academy was designed with Louisiana State employees in mind and can be an integral tool in preparing yourself to take on leadership roles!
YOU SPOKE, WE LISTENED While CPTP has always offered top-notch supervisory training, many state employees are not aware of it until they become supervisors. Additionally, some mandatory supervisory training really only impacts existing supervisors (Leave Management, for example). We received feedback from our agencies that training was needed for future leaders so that they can hit the ground running when they become supervisors or group leaders. To design an optimal program, we conducted significant research; surveying undersecretaries, HR Directors and existing new supervisors as well as comparing programs offered by other state governments and analyzing the latest leadership research conducted at nationally known universities. From these sources, we developed the critical content areas aspiring leaders need to master including conflict management, strategic thinking, delegation, coaching and directing others, and building a personal brand of transparency and trust. OPEN TO ANYONE, DESIGNED FOR EVERYONE We designed a program that was available on demand, and flexible enough to meet the varied needs of Louisiana State employees. For each of our twelve content areas, participants complete one or two required courses, and at least one choice course. These courses can be accessed through LaGov Learning, and are mostly web-based, with some instructor-led options. Participants can complete the program in as little as 9 months. However, we understand that priorities may shift and life can be unpredictable, so we offer flexibility, allowing up to 20 months for completion.
