Darden Executive Education is stepping forward to meet the need by enhancing its online programs portfolio to provide rich, accessible learning opportunities during these challenging times.
“With uncertainty in the global economy and organizations moving at a rapid pace to adjust to the new realities of doing business, now is the time to double-down on advancing career goals and preparing for what might come next,” said Ashley Williams, CEO and chief learning officer of executive education and lifelong learning at the University of Virginia Darden School of Business.
Through Darden Executive Education’s online programs, learners can earn specializations and certificates demonstrating the skills they’ve developed to help organizations thrive.
Upcoming digital offerings include:
Management Essentials for Developing Leaders (3–8 May): Discover your true capabilities and prepare for new or increasing management roles with this interactive immersion into the principles of organizational management. Adapted from the popular in-person program, Management Essentials for Developing Leaders will be run as a synchronous online course, led by the same team of Darden professors as the in-person program. This program counts as one credit toward a Darden Certificate in Management.
Leading Mindfully: Leading Through Crisis (6 May–10 June): Adapted from the foundation of the in-person program, this special live online session of Leading Mindfully features unique content and virtual activities developed by Professors Lili Powell and Jeremy Hunter to provide leaders with mindful leadership tools, skills and new perspectives as they work to lead their organizations through an unprecedented period of crisis. This program counts as one credit toward a Darden Certificate in Leadership.
