New certificate programs empower changemakers to lead with purpose, resilience and vision
Green Bay, Wis. — The University of Wisconsin-Green Bay is expanding its leadership development with the launch of three dynamic new certificate programs designed to elevate nonprofit executives and empower women in leadership roles across industries. Debuting this fall, these new programs are built to fuel purpose-driven leadership, strategic resilience and transformative impact.
- Executive Coaching for Nonprofit Leaders – Offered as part of UW-Green Bay’s Nonprofit Education and Development Network, enrollees in this online program will receive personalized coaching and consultation to help nonprofit professionals navigate complex challenges and lead with clarity.
- Executive Coaching for Women in Leadership – This mastermind-style cohort for women in middle and upper management roles, focused on breaking barriers and building confidence, is a creation of the Schreiber Institute for Women’s Leadership at UW-Green Bay. It blends in-person and virtual experiences.
- Women in Healthcare Leadership Series – This fully online program addresses the unique challenges and opportunities for women leading in the healthcare sector and is a collaboration between the Schreiber Institute for Women’s Leadership and the Division of Continuing Education and Workforce Training.
“As Northeast Wisconsin faces a wave of retirements and ongoing workforce shortages, it’s crucial that we prioritize the development of tomorrow’s leaders,” said Jess Lambrecht, executive officer for the Division of Continuing Education and Workforce Training at UW-Green Bay. “These new certificate programs are designed to equip professionals with the skills, confidence and support they need to step into leadership roles, drive meaningful change in their organizations and help us all rise as a region.”
The new offerings are part of UW-Green Bay’s growing portfolio of credit and noncredit leadership certificates, which also includes Supervisory Essentials, Nonprofit Leadership, Emerging Leadership, and Organizational Leadership. Each program is designed to provide working professionals with flexible, high-impact learning experiences that support career advancement.
