Course Structure
The Learner to Leader program combines the best of the NSLS’s Foundations of Leadership and Advanced Leadership programs into one alumni package that’s broken up into three parts.
Members will understand the basics of leadership, identify their strengths and weaknesses, develop team-building skills, and improve their communication and collaboration skills.
Members begin to utilize the NSLS 9 Principles and Behaviors Leadership Framework to become the best version of themselves by thoroughly understanding their passions and goals, culminating in the completion of a Leadership Portfolio.
Members apply what they’ve learned to a real-world community project while supporting a team to achieve a common goal, understanding how to advocate for themselves while motivating others.
The National Society of Leadership and Success (NSLS) is the largest and only accredited collegiate leadership development program in the United States. We partner with over 800 colleges across the country and have more than 1.5 million members.
The NSLS Learner to Leader program is a leadership development program designed to help alumni upskill in key areas to grow as leaders and advance in their careers.
Leadership development is an ongoing pursuit, and we want to meet alumni where they are in their own leadership journeys by providing opportunities to help drive their success. Many of our educational partners also mentioned issues engaging with their alumni and developing their leadership skills. Similarly, we have heard from business leaders and leaders of nonprofits who are having trouble identifying young leaders within their organizations.
With the alumni-focused Learner to Leader program, we have created an affordable solution for college alumni to gain leadership experience to help them advance in their careers while providing a pathway for businesses and nonprofits to identify the next generation of leaders.
