What is your transit agency doing to prepare new leaders for the coming challenges? How are you cultivating talent today for tomorrow’s leadership opportunities within our industry?
Evolving trends and expectations are creating unparalleled opportunities and challenges for emerging leaders within our industry. PennTRAIN recognizes the role tomorrow’s transit leaders will play in the continued provision of public transportation in communities across the Commonwealth and is honored to offer a first-ever Emerging Leaders Course as part of our curriculum.
This day and-a half course will assist emerging leaders from all aspects of transit in PA in expanding and fine-tuning their leadership skills. Ideal participants include front-line supervisors; new, or soon-to-be, managers and executives; and future organizational leaders currently serving in various technical or professional roles in your agency.
In addition to tips to successfully navigate and embrace increasing levels of responsibility, this course includes opportunities to:
- Hone cross-functional skills through case studies, group exercise and industry-related discussions;
- Build valuable relationships with peers throughout the industry; and
- Receive individualized, executive coaching onsite.
We hope the senior leadership of your transit agency will nominate 1-2 individuals to join us for this fun, engaging session. Together, we will cover tips and tricks for key topics such as networking, managing up, giving and receiving feedback, developing your brand, and much more.
