Certificate Programs

The Office of Human Resources at St. John’s University is pleased to provide employees with the opportunity to significantly enhance their professional development through two Training and Development Certificate Programs. The programs offer a curriculum of Core and Elective workshops through which employees work toward receipt of a framed Certificate of Completion along with a personalized plaque awarded during a special graduation ceremony.

The two program tracks include one for one for staff and administrators and one for managers. The Certificate Programs support the University’s strategic goal to build an organization of strong leaders where faculty, administrators and staff are enabled, motivated and engaged. The programs also directly support the Development Plan component of the University’s performance management system, Partnership for Performance (PFP), by creating a clear path for professional growth for each employee.

How a Certificate Program Can Benefit You

Everyone needs time to reflect, recoup and reenergize and that is what our training will help you do. Learning faster, smarter, easier ways to do your work, developing new skills and gaining insights from your peers from around the University will make you more satisfied, motivated and productive.

Each of the Certificate Programs is detailed here, along with University Cores, Development Cores, and Elective course requirements. The Program Key provides footnote explanations and requirements. The Institute for Management Studies (IMS), provides supplemental professional development opportunities available for credit in the Certificate Programs.
