CWC Business Leadership Cohort
“CWC Business Leadership is an awesome opportunity for those leaders and managers looking to promote their leadership journey while gaining a great deal of community insight.”
-Tom Ledbetter, Co-Chair of the Greater CWC Small Business Advisory Committee and Associate Vice Provost of Midlands Technical College
Over the past two years, the Cohort program has continued to grow, with more than 40 graduates now part of the Cohort Alumni Development (CAD) program. This exclusive program offers advanced educational opportunities to further develop leadership skills.
CWC Business Leadership Cohort
We’re excited to announce a major enhancement to the Cohort program! Instead of the traditional eight-week timeframe, members will now have the flexibility to attend various approved courses throughout the year. This change allows working professionals to complete their professional development at their own pace while still achieving the same high-quality training.
As in the past, the Chamber will continue to offer educational sessions, Learn Local courses, and other training opportunities. To help members track their progress, courses that count toward Cohort certification will be marked with the "Cohort Certified" logo.
New Cohort Certification Structure:
- CORE Courses: Three essential courses will be offered throughout 2025. To graduate, members must complete at least two of the three Core Courses.
- ELECTIVE Courses: A variety of Learn Local elective courses will be available year-round, with members required to attend at least six elective courses to fulfill program requirements.
For those interested in working toward their Cohort Certification, we ask that you complete a Letter of Intent so a Chamber staff member can guide you through the program.
We look forward to supporting your leadership journey!
