Sample Program Schedule
Abilitie’s Emerging Leader Program is tailored to the needs of each client. Our programs can work as a condensed 1-week program or can be spread out over multiple months as desired.
Action Learning Projects
Action Learning Projects are an ideal complement to our intensive simulation-based practice sessions. We work with you to identify and design projects that are adapted to your industry and company initiatives. Action Learning Projects (ALPs) present participants with a real-world problem that your organization has previously encountered or is currently struggling with, or an issue that you’d like to prepare your learners to face in the future. Your learners will be split into small groups to work through the assigned ALP for the duration of the program and will have a chance to apply what they learn through the blended curriculum and immersive real-world simulations.
This was the best business training exercise I have ever participated in. Better than anything in my 5 year evening MBA program.
