The Career Advancement Program (CAP)
The
Career Advancement Program mission is to offer an unparalleled developmental
experience at a point of transition from individual contributor to junior or
middle manager or the equivalent for the minority top tier professional.
CAP's
unique experience offers fellows:
- A high-performing peer
community to remove the destabilizing
sense of isolation to enable career loft from this bench to leadership - A long-term career guidance
relationship to support a smooth landing, deliver career horizon insight,
and
build performance excellence over time - A personalized
experience through coaching that helps to identify each CAP Fellow's
areas for emphasis, improvement, and attention and then bridge the gaps to excellence - A comprehensive curriculum
that includes in-class, on-line,
phone-based, and web-based content delivery to fuel near term and long term success
and advancement.
CAP
Fellows will develop:
- Insight into what it means to
establish yourself as someone who “gets it”, knows how to get things
done, and deliver results - The hard and soft skills
required
to build credibility and confidence and communicate concisely - An understanding of how to
solicit
feedback and then exceed expectations - An appreciation of “little
things”
that can make or break reputations - Clear goals and a roadmap,
membership to a high-performing peer network, a “personal board of directors”, and
relationship management skills to guide development - Greater confidence in skill
set
and capabilities - Decision-making tools to
better navigate
organizations and career opportunities
CAP is set to launch its pilot partners and inaugural class in the fourth quarter of 2008.
