Applicants’ Eligibility and Commitments

Your Eligibility

To find out if you are eligible for this program, please respond to the following questions:

1. Have you been in your new management position at UBC for less than a year? *
2. Do you have staff reporting to you? **

If you answered yes to both of the questions above, you are eligible to register in this program.

* You may have been at UBC for years and just promoted to a manager role, or you might have been a manager for year, but just recently arrived at UBC.

** This specifically refers to M&P staff with responsibility for recruitment and termination.

In preparation for this new role, we’d like to introduce you to the Managing at UBC program, designed and created for new managers like you.

By providing self-directed learning resources that you can tap into – in-person and online – we provide the framework for your leadership growth as a manager. You’ll also have the opportunity to learn and grow in a supportive environment with your peers and have a smoother adjustment and transition period into your new role.

Your Commitment

We understand how busy our managers are running the day-to-day operations of our university. For this reason, we have designed the program to be flexible and accommodating to your schedule and learning needs. We ask you to complete a self-assessment and work with a Program Advisor to develop your unique learning path. We also expect all participants to attend the Managing at UBC Jumpstart orientation (currently schedule for three times a year) as an introduction to the program and to network and meet other peers. All other program components can be accessed at your convenience, depending on availability of online and workshop modules.

Involve Your Manager

Your supervisor may have been the one who directed you to this program. Or, if not, you may wish to discuss your interest in enrolling in this program as a means to foster leadership growth in your new role. We encourage your supervisor to review Information for Supervisors of Applicants to understand the benefits of having you participate actively in this program.
