UC Systemwide Training and Development Opportunities
Management Skills Assessment Program (MSAP)
The call for applications for the Northern California UC Management Skills Assessment Program (MSAP) has gone out. MSAP is a unique residential program designed to assess the current skills of new managers, supervisors, project managers and those aspiring to these roles in the context of complexities facing UC managers. MSAP offers participants insights into their managerial competencies and potential by providing feedback on critical skills for successful management at UC. MSAP is regarded as an investment in management talent by the UC Office of the President and is scheduled to be held May 1 – May 4, 2012 in the Asilomar Conference Center, Pacific Grove, California. The fee for the program is $875.00 which includes meals and lodging.
According to Karen Hull, Associate Vice Chancellor – Human Resources, “Of the many fine programs that UC offers, the MSAP program continues to receive the highest praise. Many staff who have attended and now moved on and upward in their careers talk about MSAP as one of those defining moments. MSAP serves as an important investment in the mission of UC and the careers of our dedicated staff.”
Applications are due by noon, Thursday, February 23, 2012, and can be downloaded from the MSAP web site at http://msap.ucdavis.edu. For more information, contact your UC Davis MSAP coordinator, Marla Dolcini at mtdolcini@ucdavis.edu or 530-752-9682.
Business Officer Institute-- Fall 2012
The UC Business Officer Institute (BOI), sponsored by the UC Office of the President (UCOP), was established in recognition of the critical role that business officers play in a rapidly changing business environment characterized by localized decision-making authority, increased regulatory interest and oversight, emphasis on risk-taking and innovation, and increased complexity.
Candidates for the UC Business Officer Institute are those who have broad decision-making and/or supervisory responsibility or accountability for academic or administrative department for budget, finance, internal controls, human resources, systems or sponsored projects. Candidates must be classified at the Professional and Support Staff (PSS) or Managers and Senior Professionals (MSP) level to be eligible for nomination.
UCOP covers all program and some meals costs (breakfast, lunches and breaks) for BOI as well as the Opening Reception Dinner. UCOP will not cover the cost of travel, parking, or hotel expenses.
The BOI website is currently being updated but you may find some information about the Institute at: http://www.ucop.edu/ucophome/businit/boi/about_boi.html.
