Initiative Title	2. Complete the development of a leadership certificate
Submitted in Previous Year(s)	2020
Critical Information, Notes, Justification, Rationale	A leadership certificate, which could be done as a stand-alone certificate or as an attachment to another two-year degree, would be a positive marketing tool for the College. It fits within the framework of IDS as it could make use of existing courses across academic departments, add several new ones, and link with current and new initiatives in the Students Services and CAPE areas. It provides opportunities to recruit adult, professional students from the community seeking to advance as well as current students. The importance of good leadership training is noted nationally (and internationally). Thus, this certificate could enhance our offerings, ensuring they are up to date with current community and national needs. It could provide another offering for the HVEC and an opportunity to increase connections (through internship opportunities, etc.) with external partners. All of this could enhance the image and reputation of the College and perhaps increase funding sources.
Consequences of this initiative not being funded	This could be a great means to recruit and retain students, which are College priorities. It would enhance communication within and across various areas of the College. It also could enhance the College's reputation and external connections.
Department Goals	Explore and expand course offerings as appropriate, including DEISJ opportunities, Increase enrollment and retention in IDS and HUM courses, Make connections to other areas and groups, both on and off campus

Institutional Goals

Goal	How will the initiative support this institutional goal?
COLLEGE GOALS as of 2011 1. To provide high quality academic courses and programs that prepare a diverse student population to achieve its educational, employment and enrichment goals.	A leadership certificate would not only assist current students as an expansion of their experiences (and work with their first degree) but it also could be marketed to various non trad students who might want to advance in their chosen careers without committing to a full (or additional) degree.
COLLEGE GOALS as of 2011 2. To engage learners in an environment that develops their knowledge and skills in critical thinking, information and technology literacy, effective communication and enhances their awareness of civic responsibility and cultural diversity.	This certificate would enhance critical thinking and communication.

It is an area in which the college currently does not capitalize.
