EMERGENT LEADERS DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM (ELDP):
MAKING THE TRANSITION
The Emergent Leaders Development Program (ELDP), formally known as Supervisor Leadership Development

position. The focus of all sessions is on the development of leadership, and operational skills and abilities, to prepare
the leader to confidently and competently assume the responsibilities of the role.
Duration: Once per week for 9 consecutive days.
Classroom Hours: 56
