Program description
In a recent study by Deloitte, and echoed in Forbes, 92 per cent of all companies report "that human capabilities or soft skills matter as much or more than hard skills in today’s business world." This is especially important in technology and data-driven environments where information must be shared and communicated in order to provide value.
The Micro-certificate in Practical Leadership for Technology and Engineering provides learners with the high-demand, leadership soft skills needed for effective communication, active listening, team-building, conflict resolution and feedback processes within an environment specific to engineering management, technology and geomatics.
