Leadership Academies

In collaboration with Tepper Executive Education, the first Carnegie Mellon University Human Resources Leadership Academy is designed to enrich the leadership skills and networks for high-potential emerging or existing leaders. The Academy provides the tools, exposure and training necessary to increase the visibility and success of high-performing leaders within the university.

The program is open to all faculty and staff regardless of gender, race or other demographic characteristics. Participants are selected through a nomination process by college and division leadership. When considering whom to select to participate, leadership should identify high-potential employees who have growth potential and would benefit from training in cultivation of diverse and inclusive leaders.

Overall, the participants should expect to devote a total of 90–100 hours to complete the program. Graduates will earn a non-degree Certificate of Completion from the Tepper School of Business upon completion of either program, gaining valuable knowledge and experience toward their professional development.

The program includes:

• Strategic Leadership content and practical applications for success
• Tailored sessions with senior leadership at Carnegie Mellon University
• Strategies for cultivating organizational sponsorship
• One-on-one coaching
• Focus on navigating and leveraging internal networks
• Networking with the Tepper Executive Leadership Academy participants and alumni
