Manufacturing Leadership Certificate Program (MLCP)

 

 

What is Manufacturing Leadership Certificate Program (MLCP)?

Available to George Brown College's corporate clients, the Manufacturing Leadership Certificate Program (MLCP) has been developed through several Ontario Community Colleges and the Canadian Manufacturers and Exporters (CME). Global competition, the development of advanced technologies and other economic challenges are rapidly changing the way Canadian business and industry operate. Supervisors have felt the impact of the changes most dramatically. Today's manufacturing supervisors must demonstrate multifaceted leadership combined with a high level of technical expertise. The Manufacturing Leadership Certificate Program is exactly what you need if you are a supervisor, manager or have goals targeted in that direction.

Manufacturing Leadership Certificate Program Curriculum

Supervisory Skills for Business and Industry
Today, effective supervision is very challenging. The successful supervisor needs a wide range of specialized skills: you must manage time well, communicate effectively, handle customer relations, measure work appropriately and ensure compliance with complex government legislation. This course will help you develop supervisor skills and an awareness of the multi-faceted approach to leadership demanded in the modern business environment.

Coaching and Developing People
Lifelong learning has become a necessity in today's rapidly changing workplace. The coaching and developing of people, in order to encourage their ongoing learning process, is a crucial component in this dynamic environment. This course will provide each participant with the knowledge necessary to develop lifelong learning principles in the workplace. As each team player takes on the role of coach, new skills will be learned to enhance a lifelong learning environment at their individual workplace. The basic skills of communication, coaching, conflict management, and performance evaluation will be developed, together with an understanding of adult learning, training, development, and delegation by empowerment.

Developing Effective Teams
Developing Effective Teams course will provide the knowledge of how people in teams function and how teams evolve. It will develop in the participants the skills of teambuilding, team leading and facilitating team work, with particular attention to group problem solving skills.

Continuous Improvement processes
On completion of this course, participants will understand the need for, and practical application of, Continuous Improvement concepts by identifying and using appropriate tools in order to contribute to organizational goals.


The Business of Tomorrow

There are two great pressures on manufacturing today; both related to change. One is the geo-political, or global economy, the other is the expectations placed on each of us, as individuals, to cope with a very different workforce and a very dynamic workplace. This material covers the information that will help the supervisor deal with these issues and answer the questions that arise daily in the workplace. The course includes: implementing change, the impacts from global competitors, understanding the 'mosaic' workforce, committing to continuously learning and helping others to do the same.
