BEYOND THE CLASSROOM Research shows most learning happens outside of a class or classroom. Knowing this, we have built features into this program to help learners take what they have learned in the courses and apply it in real life. These features include Portfolio Builders, surveys, and live virtual events. Portfolio Builders are activities that result in a tangible work product. These items can then be used to show skills in interviews or act as templates for real world work. We have placed Portfolio Builders throughout the program so that by the end of the program, learners will truly have a self-created portfolio of work projects, templates, spreadsheets, and other tools. We also know how important support from leadership is for our learners. We will send surveys to learners and their supervisors at regular intervals in the program to measure the transfer of learning into real life. We will be looking to see if behaviors and strategies are deployed on the job! Additionally, we want existing supervisors to help their learners succeed, so we have provided a separate course for them about how they can support their employees in the program. In fact, it is the only continuing education option available to state supervisors in 2025, ensuring that classified supervisors are informed about the program and equipped to provide meaningful and practical support. Finally, to provide opportunities for networking and live coaching, we have planned a series of live virtual events that will spotlight existing leaders who have “skins on the wall” who can give real insight into their own leadership journeys, and what helped them achieve leadership positions. We will take a look at women in leadership, making the transition from colleague to supervisor, managing multiple generations, networking and more. Learn more about the Leadership Academy.
