What’s it about? Last week I promoted some educational opportunities (EOs) for my friends in the Southern California area. Today I would like to share some EOs for the rest of you in the US, Canada and beyond.
These selected programs are random except they come from organizations that I have had a positive history with. I was also looking for new programs, updated programs and instructors known to me.Â
Linkage, Inc. has a variety of programs under the umbrella of management development offered throughout the US and as e-learning.
The Center for Creative Leadership offers its classic and excellent Leadership Development Program in Greensboro, NC, Colorado Springs, CO, San Diego, CA, Brussels, Belgium, and Singapore.Â
Management Concepts operates primarily out of the Washington D.C./Virginia area; however they do have courses throughout the US. Their programs are open to all; however, they specialize in training for government employees and those who do or want to do business with the government. They have some great offerings in Business Management, Financial Management, Leadership, Professional Skills, and Project Management.
For those of you who are consultants and you want to learn more about how to get work/contracts with the federal government, Management Concepts offers a free information exchange and resource site: Winning Government Business.
The American Management Association has developed a new sub-site on self-development in response to the downturn in the economy. Check out a wide variety of courses at Recession Proof Your Future.
The Canadian Management Association has ten Customer Services courses available through the end of this year.
And finally, for my friends in Mexico who complain I never give them any educational hints in my posting, here are some courses in management, human resource management, marketing and sales, finance, interpersonal skills, supervision, and project management. Parra mis amigos Mexicanos: Cursos, Seminarios, y Tallares. Â

Bill Bradley
Bill Bradley (mostly) retired after 35 years in organizational consulting, training and management development. During those years he worked internally with seven organizations and trained and consulted externally with more than 90 large and small businesses, government agencies, hospitals and schools.
Thanks for sharing this EOs. Students should perhaps learn to help themselves before getting into the challenges of life. They should be given good self development training to establish the most important foundation in life, character.
