Learn to Become an Accomplished Leader
We have a tradition and spirit here in the Valley that precipitates greatness. While the products get the spotlight, it’s the accomplished leaders who make it happen. Modern leaders will face critical and historic challenges, but raw talent alone is insufficient to meet them effectively.
Today’s business opportunities are constantly changing, largely unpredictable and global in scope. To succeed, you need to be both a strategic thinker and a dynamic visionary. Extension’s program provides tools to help you get there. As a senior-level leader, your time is valuable. So we’ve designed the executive program to complement your schedule. Most executive programs require you to be away from the office for a full week or two at a time. Of course, this can significantly disrupt your work flow and take time away from pressing responsibilities.
The SVBL Program meets from 1:30 to 8:30 pm, so you’ll have your mornings free to attend to your other professional responsibilities. We also include dinner with each session so that you can spend time sharing ideas with other leaders in Silicon Valley and beyond. The friendly, informal atmosphere provides opportunities to make valuable contacts with peers from Silicon Valley’s top organizations. We help you make the best use of your time in other ways, too. Each topic is completely covered in one session. This ensures that only essential information is presented.
Exceptional Value
For 20 years, UCSC Extension’s program for Executives has put the resources of the University of California to work for professionals like you. Though many executive programs charge more than $10,000 for curriculum of this caliber, the Business Leadership program is $5,500—an extraordinary value that includes exceptional faculty and the opportunity to network with leaders from Silicon Valley’s top organizations. Tuition includes all instructional materials, textbooks, dinners and parking.
Put Extension’s Executive Program to Work for Your Company
Companies and agencies may reserve space in the program, even if they have yet to determine which individual representatives will attend. Space is limited to 30 participants and the program often fills quickly, so reserve a place for yourself, a staff member or colleague today.
