Leadership Academy

The Wiregrass Leadership Academy is one of our most popular training deliveries for our Business/Industry Partners. It is very interactive and hands-on allowing participants to be actively engaged in their leadership journey. Each participant receives a manual with our leadership curriculum that allows them to complete exercises and reflections that they bring back to each class. Participants are involved in leadership challenges designed to reinforce their learnings and promote both professional and personal growth. Our hope is that the participants apply their learnings on the job and prepare themselves for additional responsibilities in the workplace.
