Unlock Your Potential with the Office of Strategic Initiatives

Our tailored expert-led programs and consultations on issues such as best hiring practices, leadership, capacity building and workplace development are designed to drive organizational growth and economic vitality.

Without this program, employees may not even see themselves as leaders. This is a way to bring that out and give them the confidence they need.
