Cornell University -one among the eight Ivy League institutions -has launched the `Cornell-ILR Experienced Managers Program' (CEMP) with Pearson as its learning partner. Tailored for Indian professionals with a minimum of seven years work experience, the 12-month certificate course marks the university's first offering for Indian learners.“The CEMP is ideal for mid-level professionals and entrepreneurs who want to learn or refresh their knowledge of core management topics, and will develop modern management skills so that candidates can advance within or beyond their companies, professions and industries,“ said Steve Miranda, co-director of the program.
The CEMP focuses on the understanding of four core themes -organisational strategy , business, operations, and people -which will be taught across 14 modules. The university has received about 500 applications for the course, out of which 50 will be shortlisted for the program. With a blended learning approach -a combination of online learning and in-person instruction -candidates will have access to webinars, and will also be able to attend seminars and networking events held by faculty travelling to Pearson's Gurgaon facility.
The highlight of the course, Miranda said, will be the one-week immersion programme at Cornell's Ithaca campus in upstate New York, and in New York City, which will focus on leadership and innovation. The fees for the program is $15,000, inclusive of the immersion programme. The course is slated to commence on October 23. Recruitment for the first batch of candidates has already begun, and the enrolment process will remain open until September 23.
