Managing at UBC

Are you a new manager in your first year? Are you an experienced manager, but new to managing within the university context? If so, you may be interested in the Managing@UBC program. This program is designed to support new managers in their first year, recognizing the significant responsibility they hold for employee performance and engagement and achievement of unit goals. The program has been developed by Human Resources' Organizational Development & Learning and is based on a self-directed learning model that incorporates a variety of learning modalities including e-learning, workshops, studios, lunch and learn, coaching triangles, peer networking, and on-line resources.

Managing at UBC is offered at both Vancouver and Okanagan campuses; however, there are some variations in how the programs operate at each campus. While the Vancouver-based program can presently support only new managers in their first year, the Okanagan-based program is open to all managers and directors, newly hired and ongoing.
