Foundations of Leadership

May 4, 2026 - June 15, 2026

Description

Foundations of Leadership is a 6-week soft-skills development program for young professionals ages 18–30 focused on building confidence, communication ability, and professional presence.

Through hands-on learning, guided practice, and peer feedback, participants gain practical tools to lead meetings, present ideas, work effectively on teams, represent their organizations professionally, and build strong workplace relationships. Many of these skills may seem basic, but they are rarely formally taught. Without guidance or mentorship, professionals are often expected to figure them out on their own.

The program focuses on core competencies that accelerate early-career growth, including communication, networking, and professional etiquette. By strengthening these foundational skills, the program supports regional workforce development and stronger teams across Stark County and beyond.

Program Cost: $675
Starting: May 4, 2026
